Tips for proper baking from Thuk

It is said that cooking is an art and baking is a skill. This has its share of truth. Cooking requires technical skills, but baking requires creativity. But let's look at the situation from the other side. In cooking you create a dish by adding your own style, but to bake correctly and always get good results, you always need to follow some details: a recipe, right calculated time, etc.

That's why we decided this time to introduce some simple rules to help you always get delicious cakes and pastries:

• Measure correctly

This is the most important of the tips. For correct measurement, it is better to have digital scales in the kitchen just for such cases, and if they are not, then dry ingredients (for example, flour) must be measured with a spoon and a cup, and liquid ingredients with a transparent cup on which the units of measurement are marked.

• Use a good quality mixer

Do not skimp on a good mixer, believe us, it will last you a long time and help you achieve a good result.

• Use room temperature ingredients for baking

If a recipe requires room temperature ingredients, don’t use cold butter or eggs from a refrigerator.

• Check the temperature in oven

It's a good idea to check your oven temperature frequently to make sure it's accurate. Avoid opening the oven door during the baking process, so that cold air doesn’t interrupt the baking process.

• Don't use substitutes

Unfortunately, there are no good substitutes for flour, sugar or butter. Chefs say that baking is a chemistry, a risky experiment, so you can only replace or add ingredients that do not change the main part of the recipe.

• Prepare the baking pans

The baking pan must be suitable and large enough. You can use baking paper or non-stick spray and then add a dough.

Well, we hope these tips will help you always get the best cakes and pastries, and also enjoy the process of baking, and if you suddenly have difficulties, do not despair, Thuk is always here.
