Cooking method baking

Different types of cooking require different procedures for the types of food that are cooked.

For baked goods, for example [tooltip position = “top“ text = “meringue, also known as Spanish wind or meringue / meringue, is a foam biscuit made from sugared egg whites or aquafaba.“] Meringue [/ tooltip], from which only moisture should be removed the temperature is only about 180 °. Cakes or other raw foods are baked at temperatures of 150-200 °.

The highest temperature level of 250 ° is used for gratinating dishes that have already been cooked. The Oven must always be preheated so that it is at the required temperature when the baked goods are inserted. Flat baked goods should be placed in the middle rail of the oven and tall baked goods in the bottom rail. Two cakes should never be baked on top of each other in the oven, as one can get too much top heat and the other too much bottom heat.

The best way to check whether a cup cake or a cake has been baked through is by piercing it with a knitting needle. If there is no dough left on the needle after pulling it out, the cake is done. Different types of cooking also apply to different foods. Fish, poultry pies or casseroles, for example, can be baked.
