10.4 Baking

• Use the lower temperature the first time.
• You can extend baking times by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on more than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally. There is no need to change the temperature setting if an unequal browning occurs. The differences equalize during baking.
• Trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the trays become cold again, the distortions disappear.

10.5 Tips on baking

Baking results	Possible cause	Remedy
The bottom of the cake is not browned sufficiently.	The shelf position is incorrect.	Put the cake on a lower shelf.
The cake sinks and becomes soggy, lumpy or streaky.	The oven temperature is too high.	The next time you bake, set a slightly lower oven temperature.
	The baking time is too short.	Set a longer baking time. You cannot decrease baking times by setting higher temperatures.
	There is too much liquid in the mixture.	Use less liquid. Be careful with mixing times, especially if you use a mixing machine.
The cake is too dry.	The oven temperature is too low.	The next time you bake, set a higher oven temperature.
	The baking time is too long.	The next time you bake, set a shorter baking time.
The cake browns un-evenly.	The oven temperature is too high and the baking time is too short.	Set a lower oven temperature and a longer baking time.
	The mixture is unevenly distributed.	Spread the mixture evenly on the baking tray.
The cake is not ready in the baking time given.	The oven temperature is too low.	The next time you bake, set a slightly higher oven temperature.

Meat with crackling can be roasted in the roasting tin without the lid.

Turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time.

To keep meat more succulent:

• roast lean meat in the roasting tin with the lid or use roasting bag.
• roast meat and fish in large pieces (1 kg or more).
• baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during roasting.
