Tips on Ovens - For your Baking
Ovens :
For baking always preheat the oven at the required temperature. Baking in cold or overheated ovens causes improper baking of the final product.
Place the baking tray or baking tins according to the type of your oven.
Electric ovens / O.T.G. : Place the baking tray or baking tins towards the bottom.
Gas ovens : Place the baking tray or baking tins towards the top. A cup of water should be placed in the oven as there is excessive water loss in gas ovens.
Microwave ovens : Baking cycle required is about 1/5 the time taken in a gas/electric oven. Break up the complete baking cycle required in to 2 – 3 baking cycles for good results. Cover the top of the tray or tin incase of excessive cooking on the surface.
Combination ovens : Baking cycle is about 2/3(two thirds) time required in gas/electric oven at the same temperature as that of the gas/electric oven.

My Grandma's Home Remedies .....
My Grandma's Home Remedies .....
- If a pinch of ginger is put into doughnuts they will not absorb the fat in which they are fried.
- If potatoes are pared and laid in cold water before boiling they will remain white.
- Never put strawberries in tin ware.
- A hot cloth wrapped around jelly or ices will cause them to come out of the molds without sticking.
- A little boiling water added to an omelet will keep it from being tough.
- A little butter added to cake frosting greatly improves it.
- Line cake tins with a little butter and then dust with flour and the cake will not stick to the tins.
- Silicone spatulas are best to use in cake making.
- If raisins and currants are rolled in flour before being put into cake they will not sink to the bottom.
- When cutting fresh bread clean your knife with a damp cloth each time .
- Keep an apple slice in the cake-box. It will keep the cake fresh for a long time.
- If grease is spilled on the kitchen floor cold water should be poured on it immediately. The water will harden the grease and prevent it from soaking into the floor. It may then be scraped up with a knife.
- Soak new brooms in hot, salted water before using them. The salt toughens the bristles and the brooms will last longer.
- Use cucumber peelings to get rid of cockroaches. The cucumber acts as poison to the roaches.
- Clean copper kettles with salt and vinegar.
- Keep any sea shell in the tea kettle to prevent the forming of a crust on the electrical heating elements.
- A piece of camphor kept with silver will prevent the silver from tarnishing.
- Crushed eggshells keep lizards at bay.
- Put a pinch of salt into water in which cut flowers are placed and they will last longer.
- A teaspoonful of tamarind powder, dissolved in hot milk and slowly sipped, is said to be helpful in case of sore throat.
- A gargle of salt and water is a good remedy for sore throat.
- Boiled flaxseed juice flavored with lemon is excellent for a cough.
- When laundering lace curtains, if a creamy shade is desired, add clear, strong coffee to the starch.
Does altitude affect baking??
Does altitude affect baking??
Too scientific to digest? Sorry but its true ......
The higher you go the more you need to alter your original recipe.
This post is for all my baking friends who live in high altitudes and struggle with baking "THE PERFECT CAKE"
When baking at higher altitudes, the recopies have to be adjusted to compensate foe the lower atmospheric pressure.Often satisfactory results are obtained by merely adjusting the leavening agents used.At other times other ingredients such as flour and eggs may also have to be adjusted. The following adjustments are general guidelines.....
Most recipies will perform adequately up to an altitude of 2000ft elevation, although this is not to say that identical results will be obtained at sea level and at 1000ft elevation.
2000ft elevation - Reduce baking powder by 15% - reduction of further 7.5% for each additional 1000ft elevation. At 8000ft elevation you may require to reduce the baking powder by 60%.
Whole eggs and egg whites(wherever mentioned in the recipies)should be increased as altitude increases. At 25000ft these ingredients should be increased by 2.5%, with an additional increase of 2.5% for every 1000ft elevation until 75000ft elevation where the adjustment will be 15%.
Flour content also needs to be adjusted upwards with increase in altitude.. At 35000 ft increase the flour by 2.5% and add about 1.7% for each increase in 1000ft elevation. Water needs to be increased proportionately to compensate for the increase in flour.

Flour ( Maida ) :
1. Strong Flour : Imparts high doughiness to the bakery products. Used for breads, puff pastries etc.
2. Medium Flour : Impart medium doughiness to the bakery product and is used for Cakes, heavy pies etc.
3. Weak Flour : Imparts poor doughiness due to excess presence of bran. Used for angel cakes, biscuits and light pies etc.
Butter / Margarine / Fat :
Imparts and enhances taste, softness, crust, color, tenderizer and aerates the cake.
Condensed Milk :
Plays a very important part in preparation of eggless cakes. It imparts tender ness, emulsification, volume, crust color, foaming etc. and the taste is same as a Victoria Sponge Cake. To prepare a fat less eggless cake sponge require excessive use of leavening agents which make the cake unpalatable at the same time soaking of the cake is not possible.
Juices / Milk / Water :
Plays a very important part in preparation of eggless cakes. It imparts tenderness, softness, volume and assists the reaction of the leavening agents required for good baking.
Essences and Colors :
Imparts and enhances taste, visual effects, fragrance and aesthetics to the cake.
Fruits / Nuts / Spices / Chocolate etc. :
Are additions made to the cake batter whereby providing a separate unique taste and mouth feel from the regular sponges.

Eggless Gumpaste Recipe - Sugarcraft
Eggless Gumpaste Recipe - Sugarcraft
Take one pack of eggless fondant premix (1/2 kg pack)
Empty all the contents in a big bowl.Make a small trough in the center.
(Its best to sieve the contents however ensure that nothing is left in the sieve.)
In a separate cup collect the following
5 1/2 TBSP of Water
2 1/2 TSP of Deodorized Oil
1/8 TSP Liquid Vanilla
1/8 TSP White Vinegar
Add the contents to the trough made in the fondant premix in the bowl.
Now knead till a fine dough is obtained.
Rest the dough for 1 hour.(Best results obtained if rested overnight)
ALWAYS STORE IN A POLY BAG AND REFRIGERATE - REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE GUMPASTE COUPLE OF HOURS PRIOR TO WORKING SO THAT THE GUMPASTE REACHES ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE YOU START WORKING WITH IT
(Initially while mixing the dough will stick to your hands however as you continue to knead more than 95% of the dough will leave the hand.)
Eggless Ready to Roll Fondant Recipe - Sugarcraft
Everything remains the same except increase the water to 6 1/2 TBSP and replace the oil by Butter - 3 1/2 TSP

Be EGGLESS and stay HEALTHY ...
Eggs contain D.D.T. :
After eighteen months of research it has been established that 30% of eggs contains D.D.T. (Poison).
---Agricultural Dept., Florida, America, Health Bulletin – October 1967
Eggs cause Heart Trouble, High Blood Pressure Etc.
Even if we had the best of eggs we would be better off without them, as they are too high in cholesterol. They are one of the important causes in diseases of the heart, arteries, brain, kidney, gallstones etc. While fruits and vegetables and vegetable oils have none or hardly any cholesterol. ---Dr. Catherine, Oceano, California (U.S.A.) – How healthy are eggs, P 7
Eggs cause Corrosion of Blood Vessels:
Eggs are also harmful. You may say that egg and I get along well, but a chemical analysis proves differently. The yoke of eggs contain cholesterol, a waxy alcohol that deposits in the liver and blood vessels producing corrosion, hardening of the arteries. ----Dr.J.Wilkins (England), How healthy are eggs, P 6-7
Eggs cause Skin Diseases & Paralysis
The Egg white is the more harmful portion of the egg. Animals fed on fresh egg white developed severe skin inflammation and paralysis. ----Dr. Robert Gross ( England ), How healthy are eggs, P 3-4 The factor in egg white that causes eczema is AVIDIN. ----Dr.J.Wilkins (England), How healthy are eggs, P 4
WELCOME TO A HEALTHY VEGETARIAN DIET OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND MILK, AND AVOID OR MAYBE EVEN GIVE UP EGGS:
The food value of milk is high, as excellent proteins are available in it. There is little that eggs supply which milk cannot. In the age of science particularly all the minerals and the vitamins can be supplied artificially and these could supplement milk wherever necessary. A lactovegetarian diet properly constructed is as nourishing as a diet containing meat or eggs. Dependence on meat or eggs for vitamins is no longer necessary. ----Dr. Anand Nimai Surta, How healthy are eggs, P 5-6
