1. How to Use Your Electric Oven Correctly
Baking in an electric oven can be a pleasant thing for you can be rewarded delicious food
from baking, especially if it is your first time. There are precautions to take when using your
single electric oven.
First of all, before using the oven to cook anything, make sure your oven is of good quality or
in other words, you have chosen a certified product. After being sure about that, you should
choose the item you wish to bake and do the preparation according to directions. If the dish
you are going to bake requires the oven to be preheated, turn the oven on at this time and
select the proper temperature in the light of your recipe.
Second, set a timer for the recipe's recommended time after your dish is placed in the oven
is important. If the recommended time given varies over several minutes, for instance 18 to
22 minutes, always select the lower time. By selecting the lower time, you will be able to get
used to the way your particular oven cooks. It is easier to add more time to an undercooked
recipe than it is to undo a burnt cake or casserole.
Third, a visual check on the recipe about three quarters of the way through the cooking
process must be done, to make sure it is cooking evenly and not cooking too fast or too slow.
This can be accomplished by looking through the oven door or by gently opening the door a
few inches.
Next, to check for doneness of your recipe, refer to the directions given in your cookbook or
mix. For a cake, many times the recipe will say that the cake will be golden brown, bounce
back when lightly touched, or to insert a toothpick in the center to check if it comes out clean.
