Temperature ***********
: The temperature of your ingredients, the room in which you
work, and your oven or stove top are as important as your good
techniques. Every aspect of baking requires its own temperature and
technique. Pie crusts need quick handling under cool conditions;
bread dough prefers thorough kneading and a warm room; feather light
cakes demand fast and gentle action with exact measurements and
perfect oven conditions; and non demanding apple butter requires
long, slow cooking with a minimum of attention.
: Knowing your ingredients and at which temperature they
perform to their fullest saves time and avoids many frustrating
mistakes. Knowing that your unusually hot hands would ruin pie crusts
or biscuits by melting the butter while rubbing it into the flour,
you instead use a food processor or an electric mixer. Knowing that
your oven bakes 50 degrees too low, you adjust the temperature before
you place your cakes or pie crusts or muffins into it. Knowing that
egg yolks curdle if they get too hot, you remove your Lemon Curd from
its hot water bath at just the right time to keep it creamy and
smooth. And, knowing that cold cream cheese or cold butter wont
blend with cold fruit sweetener, you save yourself much frustration
by letting these ingredients come to room temperature before you
start.
Recipe ******
: Although most people think of the recipe as the most essential
element, it is really the fourth element of importance in fine baking.
Recipes dont stand on their own. They rely upon your good technique,
your knowledge of your ingredients, and your understanding of the
process for their success.
: Heres how to get the most out of your recipes:
: Read the recipe completely through before beginning, even if
its an old favorite. Try to visualize each step of the preparation
and what equipment and ingredients you will need to complete it. I
like to read everything I can about a specific cake or pie or bread,
in a number of sources, before I attempt a new recipe. This way I
become familiar with the many techniques and ideas for preparing,
cooking, decorating and serving it. Then I combine the information
until I feel comfortable with what I am about to do and in what order.
: I suggest that as you begin baking and cooking with fruit
sweeteners you start with the simpler recipes, such as those for
cookies, sauces, and muffins, and following the recipes exactly.
Then, as you refine your skills, progress to the more elaborate pies,
cakes, and breads, developing your own ideas and variation and
enjoyment in the process. Submitted By JIM WELLER On 10-11-95

Organization Tips *****************
: Here are a few other suggestions that will help you better
organize yourself for all of your cooking and baking.
. Know the specific requirements of the item or items you are to
: prepare. Are there special ingredients needed? Is the butter
to be
: cold, room temperature or melted? Are the nuts blanched,
sliced,
: slivered or chopped? Should the oven be preheated? To what
: temperature? Is extra time required for chilling or heating
the
: ingredients? Is it necessary to wait before serving?
. Pay close attention to what you are doing while you work,
giving
: special consideration to every detail, especially with new
recipes
: or unfamiliar techniques. Allow yourself plenty of time to
finish
: a recipe, including the final decoration.
. Always begin by preparing the baking pans, adjusting the oven
: shelves, and preheating the oven to the required temperature.
Then
: when the mixture is ready for the oven there will be no delay
: before baking. This is especially important with cakes, which
may
: deflate and lose their lightness, with pie crusts, which may
: collapse, and with puff pastry, which will not rise if the
oven
: temperature is not hot enough.
. Avoid opening the oven door during the early baking stage.
Other
: than with small cookies, which you can peek at after 5
minutes,
: generally you should wait at least 15 to 20 minutes, or until
: approximately half the baking time has elapsed before opening
the
: door.
. Dont work against yourself by being a pot-saver in order to
save
: clean-up time. Use all of the pots, pans, bowls, spoons,
spatulas,
: equipment and towels that you need to get the job done. But
: cleanup after yourself frequently to avoid confusion.
And, most of all, enjoy yourself. Put your heart into everything you
make, infuse it with love, and you will be transformed in the
process, as will be everyone who works by your side or eats the food
you prepare. Submitted By JIM WELLER On 10-11-95
