Advice on ovenware
Check that the ovenware fits inside the oven.
Hot glass containers should be put on a dry kitchen cloth. If such containers are put on a cold or wet surface the glass may crack and break. Use oven gloves to take the ovenware out of the oven.

Advice on cake baking ware
The most commonly used type of baking ware is black metal tins. If you are also going to use the microwave, use glass, ceramic or plastic baking ware. These must be able to withstand temperatures up to 250ºC. If you use these types of baking ware the cakes are not browned as much.
Advice on how to bake cakes
Different amounts and types of pastry require different temperatures and baking times. Try low settings first of all and then, if necessary, use higher temperatures next time. A lower temperature will result in more uniform baking. Always put the cake tray in the centre of the turntable.
Baking suggestions
How to check if the cake is properly cooked
Start sticking a tooth pick in the highest part of the cake 10 minutes before the end of the baking time. When no dough sticks to the tooth pick the cake is ready.
If the cake is very dark on the outside
Next time choose a lower temperature and let the cake bake for a longer time.
If the cake is very dry
Make small holes in the cake with a tooth pick after baking has finished. Then sprinkle the cake with some fruit juice or alcoholic drink. Next time increase the temperature by about 10º and reduce the baking time.
If the cake does not come free when turned
Let the cake cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking and it will come out of the tin more easily. If the cake still does not come free run a knife carefully around the edges. Next time grease the cake tin well.
