Tips for Baking Tip To tell if your cake is cooked through Push a wooden skewer into the highest point of the cake. If the skewer comes out clean, you can switch off the oven and utilise the residual heat. Check your recipe. Next timeuse less liquid. Check The cake collapses (is sticky, that the mixture has been beaten for the correct not properly cooked through, length of time, particularly when using a food-procwater marks) essor.
Roasting Ovenware for roasting • Any heat-resistant dish is suitable for roasting. • If the dish has plastic handles, check that they are heat-resistant. • Large joints can be roasted directly in the fat tray or on the shelf unit with a fat tray placed below (e.g., turkey, goose, 3-4 chickens, 3-4 knuckles of veal.) • We recommend that all lean pieces of meat should be roasted in a casserole dish with a lid (e.g. veal, marinated beef, pot roast, frozen meat.) This way the meat will retain its juices.
