Useful cooking tips
Cakes and bread:
• Heat the oven for at least 15 minutes
before you start cooking bread or
cakes.
• Do not open the door during baking
because the cold air would stop the
yeast from rising.
• When the cake is cooked turn the oven
off and leave it in for about 10 minutes.
• Do not use the enamelled oven tray
or drip pan, supplied with the oven, to
cook cakes in.
• How do you know when the cake is
cooked? About 5 minutes before the
end of cooking time, put a cake tester
or skewer in the highest part of the
cake. If it comes out clean the cake is
cooked.
• And if the cake sinks? The next time use
less liquids or lower the temperature
10°C.
• If the cake is too dry: Make some tiny
holes with a toothpick and pour some
drops of fruit juice or spirits on it. The
next time, increase the temperature
10°C and set a shorter cooking time.
• If the cake is too dark on top: the next
time put the cake on a lower shelf, cook
it at a lower temperature and longer.
• If the top of the cake is burnt: cut
off the burnt layer and cover with
sugar or decorate it with cream, jam,
confectioner’s cream, etc..
• If the cake is too dark underneath: the
next time place it on a higher shelf and
cook it at a lower temperature.
• If the cake or bread is cooked nicely
outside but is still uncooked inside: the
next time use less liquids, cook at a
lower temperature and longer.
