The #1 baking tip: PARCHMENT PAPER!!! Nothijng beats it for cookies,
pastries, anything that is baked on jelly roll or sheet pans. For Brownies and some cakes you can cut a right-sized piece, butter both sides and place it in the bottom of the pan so the bottom will release.

But the first time you try a recipe, follow it to the exact letter. Keep notes. If it doesn't work out the first time, find out what didn't work right (based on your notes) and try it again. |

Most thermostats are off, and it can matter. A lot. Get a set of scales from eBay. (I like the candle making scales made by My Weigh.) Weigh your ingredients. It's not exact, but it is closer than using cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons. It's faster too. Don't get a bunch of tips from your friends in the newsgroup and then put them in a book. That leads to hurt feelings. Mike |

Is it so hard to use google to dig up content for your website assignment that you have to just ask people? What kind of internet technique is that? |

> > I'd like to know some baking tips from those who love baking and are > willing to share their tips! Thanx alot A lot of baking recipes call for greasing and flouring the pan. When I'm making a bundt cake, or using any kind of a pan with grooves/fluting, I use a pastry brush to grease the pan. The pastry brush makes it easier to get the shortening into all the grooves in the pan. I also use the pastry brush to help spread the flour into the grooves. Terrel -- Spamblocker in address.

One less thing to wash. No need to tip the oil jug at all. Today I baked 6 loaves of bread ( 4 of Carol Field's cocodrillo and 2 rye from "Bread Alone"), put up 2 quarts of strawberry jam and made2 batches of chocolate chip cookies. The kitchen needs a good cleaning, but I am happy. Anything that saves a step or the cleaning of an implement here and there is always a godsend. Boron |

I also use a clean pastry brush to brush off the flour all over my KitchenAid mixer stand, which invariable is covered with flour -- easier and less work than washing it off. Also, soak any bowl you've mixed flour in in cold water instead of hot water -- it will come out easier. Dee |

Many recipes involve timing. Letting something sit while you measure out other ingredients could ruin the results. If you need refridgerated items at room temperature (e.g. eggs and butter) put them out first so you are not waiting for them. If you need your butter at room temperature and cut into small pieces, cut it when it is really cold then let it warm up.

There is another option. You could just ignore people asking you to do their homework for them. By the way, I learned a new tip today. If the original poster didn't ask this question I might not have learned something. Their motive might have been wrong but it benefits me so I'm okay with it. P.S. I just thought of another tip: If you are mixing something that spatters, put the bowl in the sink and mix it there. Easier clean up. Additionally, folder a tea towel and place it under the bowl so it doesn't vibrate in the sink. -- Send e-mail to: darrell dot grainger at utoronto dot ca |

Don't have that mess to clean up from overspray. Excellent tip. I grew up in a house without a dishwasher so I'd never thought of this. Now that I have my own place (and a dishwater) I'll have to start doing this. -- Send e-mail to: darrell dot grainger at utoronto dot ca |

This makes a nice splash shield. Another good tip. I would however hold the wax paper to the motor then poke the beaters through the paper into the motor. This would guarantee the holes are the right space apart. The tip wouldn't work on my Kitchen Aid but then it has a splash guard. 8^) -- Send e-mail to: darrell dot grainger at utoronto dot ca |

Having a handy outside door is exactly why you hadn't thought of it. In my parents house dad had a tool room adjacent to the kitchen so I used to use the tool room to spray pans. The sad thing is, I now live in an apartment with no balcony. I just spray on top of the stove and clean the mess up. doh! > -- > Wayne Boatwright > ____________________________________________ > > Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. > Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 > -- Send e-mail to: darrell dot grainger at utoronto dot ca |
