工欲善其事必先利其器, 今天的分享是烘焙的基本功 -- 了解你的焗爐. 每個焗爐的火力及大小都不同, 有温差是在所難免的. 有些焗爐脾性剛烈, 很快把蛋糕面焗燶, 但內部亦是未熟的. 這是由於實際爐温比調校的高. 有些過於温柔的焗爐, 你要花五十分鐘才焗好一個明明食譜寫只雖焗三十分鐘的蛋糕! 只要清楚了解自己焗爐的温差, 你便能自己調整爐温, 所以 EC推介大家買一個焗爐專用的温度計, 定期為焗爐“探熱”, 以確保爐温準確. 至於怎樣測温及調整焗爐温度, 大家看看以下短片便會清楚明白了! 注意： 焗爐越大預熱時間亦越長, EC的小型多士焗爐只需要預熱五分鐘, 另一個連煮食爐的大型焗爐則需要預熱二十分鐘才到達所需温度.

Before decorating a cake, I would level off the domed top before slicing it into layers. Other times, I need only one of two cake layers while I bake a cake.
