When you bake cup bread, cakes or muffins, many people will encounter a problem: during the baking process, the shape of the cup becomes distorted or deformed, thus affecting the baking result. This may disappoint you, but don’t worry, below we’ll share some effective ways to avoid this and make your baking even more perfect.
Choice of baking cups
Choosing a high-quality baking cup is very important if you want to ensure that the cup does not deform during the baking process. The baking cups provided by AHCOF are made of food-grade greaseproof paper and food-grade aluminum foil paper. This material has excellent high temperature resistance, which can effectively prevent the cup from deforming and improve the cooking effect. Whether it's bread, cakes or muffins, using AHCOF's baking cups will bring you a better baking experience.
Don't overfill
Overfilling baking cups is also a cause of deformation. When you fill with batter or dough, you should only fill the cup about two-thirds of the way. This will give room for the rising batter or dough to avoid losing its shape.
Control oven temperature
If the oven temperature is too high, the baking cups will heat up quickly and expand, causing them to lose their shape. Therefore, make sure you keep your oven temperature within the appropriate range. Generally speaking, it is recommended to set the temperature between 170 and 180 degrees Celsius.
Preheat oven
It is also very important to preheat the oven to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed within the oven to avoid overheating or underheating the oven. When you're ready to bake bread, cakes, or muffins, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
Don't open the oven door
During the baking process, try to avoid opening the oven door. Every time you open the oven door, heat is lost, which can affect the results of your baking. Therefore, it is best not to open the oven door during baking until you are ready to remove the baked food.
Choice of baking pan
If your baking pan is uneven or has an uneven bottom, the baking cups will be unstable and may tilt or warp. Therefore, it is recommended to use a better quality baking pan, preferably a flat-bottomed baking pan.
The above are some effective methods to avoid deformation of baking cups. If you bake according to these methods, I believe you can easily make bread, cakes or muffins with beautiful shape and delicious taste. Happy baking!
