Frequently Asked Questions - PC120 INVENTUM

How to use the Inventum PC120 cupcake machine?

Before first use, clean the plates with a damp cloth. Prepare your cupcake batter and pour it into the cavities up to halfway. Close the lid, plug in the appliance and turn it on. The green light turns on then off when the machine is ready. Let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. Check cooking with a wooden pick.

How much batter to put in each cavity?

Fill each cavity to a maximum of halfway, about 2 tablespoons. Do not overfill as the batter rises during cooking.

Can we use paper liners?

Yes, but it is recommended to use them without bottoms to prevent the batter from sticking. Place a liner in each cavity before pouring the batter.

How to clean the cupcake machine?

Always unplug the appliance and let it cool before cleaning. Wipe the non-stick plates with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Never immerse the appliance in water. For stubborn stains, use a little mild detergent.

Why do my cupcakes stick?

Make sure the plates are non-stick and grease them lightly with a little butter or oil before use. Also check that the batter is not too runny.

What is the power of the appliance?

The PC120 has a power of 700 watts, allowing fast and even cooking.

How long does it take to preheat?

Preheating takes about 3 to 4 minutes. The green light turns off when the optimal temperature is reached.

Can we make mini cakes or muffins?

Yes, you can use the same batter as for cupcakes. Adjust the cooking time according to size: for mini cakes, allow 2 to 3 more minutes.

Does the appliance turn off automatically?

The machine does not have a programmable automatic shut-off, but it is equipped with overheating protection. Always monitor cooking and unplug the appliance after use.

Where to find spare parts for the PC120?

2 | BEFORE FIRST USE

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Unpack the appliance carefully and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any visible damage, which could be caused by transportation. Place the appliance on a stable and heat resistant surface. Wipe the housing of the appliance and the cooking plates only with a damp cloth. Dry the appliance and the cooking plates thoroughly.

3 | PREPARING CAKEPOPS

Position the cakepop maker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. Release the lid latch and lift the lid to the open position. To maintain the quality of the non-stick it is recommended to periodically coat the non-stick surface with a small amount of vegetable oil. This can be done with a paper towel or with a non-stick oil spray. Wipe off any excess oil. Plug the power cord into a outlet. Lower the lid to the closed position and allow the cakepop maker to preheat for a minimum of 3 minutes. The orange POWER light will be illuminated.

TIP: prepare ingredients while the cakepop is preheating. When the cakepop maker has preheated to the proper cooking temperature, the green READY light will illuminate. Open the top lid using an oven mitt or pot holder to avoid making contact with the hot surfaces.

Caution: surfaces of the cakepop maker are hot. To avoid accidental burns or contact with the hot surfaces or steam being released while cooking, always open

and close the lid of the cakepop maker using an oven mitt or pot holder.

Fill each cooking reservoir with approximately 1 tablespoon of batter.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to place food into a bowl with five circular cavities (no text or symbols)

Be careful not to overfill the cooking reservoirs as the batter will expand during the cooking process. TIP: to easily fill the cooking reservoirs, use a disposable pastry bag or a ziptop plastic food storage bag with the corner clipped.

Lower the lid using an oven mitt or pot holder. Press down slightly so the lid latch is secured. Actual cooking time will vary depending on ingredients and type of cakepops being prepared. A general guide line is 3 to 4 minutes cooking time per batch of cakepops.

With oven mitts or a pot holder, release the lid latch and open the cakepop maker lid. Remove the cakepops using a wooden or other heat-resistant non-metallic utensil using caution not to scratch or damage the non-stick surface. When finished cooking, remove the plug from the wall outlet and allow the appliance to cool before moving, cleaning or storing.

BASIC RECIPE FOR CAKEPOPS

Ingredients for 48 pieces

• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 / 4 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams butter
- 225 grams sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 225 ml. milk

Beat together butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Blend well. Fill each cooking reservoir with about 1 tablespoon of batter. Bake 3 to 4 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a cakepop comes out clean.

4 | TIPS & SUGGESTIONS

• Never over mix the cakepops batter as this could cause the cakepops to become tough. Blend batter ingredients until large lumps are gone.
• The recommended amount of donut batter for each cooking reservoir is approximately 1 tablespoon. Use caution not to overfill the cooking reservoirs.
• After pouring batter into the cooking reservoirs, try not to check the cakepops during the first few minutes. Opening the lid, may cause the cakepops to separate before it is cooked.
• Use a heat-resistant non-metallic utensil. to remove finished cakepops from the cakepop maker. Use care to only contact the cakepop and not the non-stick cooking surface.
• Baked cakepops will be darker on the bottom half when compared to the top half. This is a result of the batter rising. The bottom halves of the cakepops are in closer contact to the cooking plates compared to the upper halves.
• Coating should be kept warm and thin enough so that it flows over the entire cakepop. If coatings or glazes begin to thicken or cool while decorating, place coating back in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds on HIGH power.
• For best decorating results, after cakepops have cooled, place them in the freezer for 15 minutes or until well chilled, then dip quickly in the warm coating or glaze.
• To help keep the cakepop on the paper lollipop stick, dip 1-2 cm of the stick in the melted coating and then insert it into a chilled cakepop.
• Dip cakepops in the coating or glaze once and hold over the bowl to allow excess to drip back into the bowl. Work gently so cakes do not break apart or shake off the stick. Repeat dipping will cause the coating to become thick and heavy.
• To help set the coating or glaze, place the decorated cakepops in the freezer for 5 minutes.
• If coating cakepops with powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar, coat cakepops while hot. An easy way to do this is to place powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar in a paper lunch-type bag, add hot cakepops and shake gently to coat.

Decorating cakepops is fun and easy. Use your creativity with the various toppings. Remember, sprinkles and other toppings stick best to a freshly dipped cakepop while the coating is still warm and moist. Here are some topping suggestions:

• mini chocolate chips • edible ink
• toasted chopped nuts • toasted coconut
• colored sanding sugars • crushed cookies

5 | CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the appliance after use. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Leave the appliance to cool down completely. The cakepop maker cools down faster when you open it.

Wipe the outside of the housing and the cooking plates with a damp cloth and dry. To remove batter baked onto the cooking surface, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the hardened batter. After 5 minutes, wipe with a paper towel or dry cloth. Never use any abrasives!

Never immerse the appliance into water or other liquids.
