The usage method of the baking box mainly includes the following steps:
Preheating: Preheating is necessary before using the baking oven. The preheating time is usually 10-15 minutes, depending on the set temperature. When preheating, adjust the oven temperature to the recommended temperature in the recipe to ensure that the food is in the ideal cooking environment from the beginning, which helps to enhance the taste of the food.
Setting temperature and time: It is very important to set the temperature and time correctly according to the type of food to be baked. For example, the baking temperature for cakes and cookies is generally between 160 ℃ and 180 ℃, while the temperature for bread can be set at around 200 ℃. The baking time is usually 20-40 minutes, depending on the type of food and the desired degree of maturation. To prevent excessive burning of food, it is recommended to check the condition of the food at regular intervals and adjust the temperature and time in a timely manner.
Using baking pans and grills: Choosing the right baking pan or grill is also important. Metal baking trays can conduct heat evenly, while glass or ceramic baking trays are suitable for slow baking and insulation. Using a grill can evenly heat the bottom of food and help prevent excessive moisture.
Inspection during baking process: Regularly checking the baking status of food during baking is an important step to ensure its taste and quality. You can insert a toothpick or bamboo stick into the center of the cake. If there is no adhesive when pulled out, it indicates that the cake has been baked. If there is batter adhesion, the baking time needs to be extended.
Safety precautions: When using a baking oven, it is necessary to pay attention to safe use of electricity. Ensure that the power cord is sufficient and has a good grounding wire. When operating, avoid touching the heating element and wear heat-resistant gloves to prevent burns. After the work is completed, the power should be cut off in a timely manner to ensure safety.
Maintenance and upkeep of the baking box:
Cleaning: After use, wait for the oven to cool down and clean the box door, oven cavity shell, etc. with a dry cloth. Accessories such as baking pans and grilles can be cleaned with water.
Air baking: Before using a new oven, it should be air baked to remove any odors. Set the temperature to the highest, select the upper and lower tube heating mode, and bake in the air for 20 minutes. It is normal to have a burning smell or smoke during this period.
By following the above steps and maintenance, the effective use of the baking oven can be ensured and its service life can be extended.
