Guidelines
Covering
For traditional cakes, with long cooking times, baked
on convection mode only, it is necessary to cover the
top of the tin with foil 10-15 minutes after the start of
baking. This is not applicable to any of the recipes in
this section.
Dish Size/Shape
Always use the exact dish size stated in the following
recipes, otherwise cooking times and results will be
affected.
Eggs
The following recipes have been tested using
medium eggs. Using a different size of egg may
affect cooking times.
Mixing/Beating
Cakes cooked by microwave need to be well mixed,
but not over beaten. Generally it is unnecessary to
cream butter and sugar or beat eggs in an electric
mixer or food processor. Do not attempt to cook
whisked/fatless sponges, or any cakes containing
whisked egg white.
Combination Cooking
Do not use spring form tins, use smooth, and
preferably seamless metal cake tins.
