Advice on how to bake cakes
Different amounts and types of pastry
require different temperatures and baking
times. Try low settings first of all and then, if
necessary, use higher temperatures next
time. A lower temperature will result in more
uniform baking. Always put the cake tray in
the centre of the turntable.
Baking suggestions
How to check if the cake is properly
cooked
Start sticking a tooth pick in the highest part
of the cake 10 minutes before the end of the
baking time. When no dough sticks to the
tooth pick the cake is ready.
If the cake is very dry
Make small holes in the cake with a tooth
pick after baking has finished. Then sprinkle
the cake with some fruit juice or alcoholic
drink. Next time increase the temperature by
about 10º and reduce the baking time.
If the cake does not come free when
turned
Let the cake cool down for 5 to 10 minutes
after baking and it will come out of the tin
more easily. If the cake still does not come
free run a knife carefully around the edges.
Next time grease the cake tin well.
Advice on saving energy
When you are making more than one cake, it
is advisable to bake them in the oven one
after the other when the oven is still hot.
This lets you reduce the baking time for the
second and later cakes.
It is preferable to use dark coloured baking
ware - painted or enamelled black since
such baking tins absorb heat better.
When dealing with long baking times, you
can switch the oven off 10 minutes before
the end of the time and make use of the
residual heat to complete the baking.
Microwave function
For the microwave function, keep in mind
that microwaves are reflected by metal
surfaces. Glass, china, clay, plastic, and
paper let microwaves pass.
For this reason,
metal pans and dishes or
containers
with
metal
parts
or
decorations cannot be used in the
microwave
. Glass ware and clay with
metallic decoration or content
(e.g. lead
crystal) cannot be used in microwave ovens.
The
ideal
materials for use in microwave
ovens are glass, refractory china or clay, or
heat resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass
or china should only be used for short period
of times (e.g. heating).
Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which
can become very hot. You should, therefore,
always use an
oven glove!
How to test ovenware you want to use
Put the item you want to use in the oven for
20 seconds at maximum microwave power.
After that time, if it is cold and just slightly
warm, it is suitable to use. However, if it
heats up a lot or causes electric arcing it is
not suitable for microwave use.
Grill or Hot-Air functions
In the cases of the Grill or Hot-Air functions,
the ovenware must be resistant to
temperature of at least 300°C.
Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the
grill.
Combined functions
In the combined functions, the ovenware
used must be suitable for use in both the
microwave and the grill.
