	element.

BAKING GENERAL
Uneven rising of cakes	Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
Sinking of cakes	The following may cause cakes to sink:
	1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
	2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard
	temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.
	3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.
	If using soft margarine, use an all in one method instead of
	the traditional creaming of the margarine and sugar.
	Remember when using a food mixer or processor not to
	over-cream soft margarine.
Over/undercooking	Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the
	Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be
	necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C
	to suit personal taste.

	roasting.
