Should you bake cakes in a fan oven?

When using ovens with both fan-forced and conventional settings, it is best to use conventional when you are baking long and slow (like for cakes) and fan-forced for fast cooking at high temperatures. If using a fan-forced oven, as a general rule, drop the temperature by 20°C to imitate conventional.

Is a gas oven good for baking?

Gas is very efficient, so gas ovens tend to heat very quickly. ... Gas ovens also tend to be more humid than either electric or convection ovens because the combustion of the gas releases some moisture into the air of the oven; this can lead to issues with browning and crisping some baked goods.

Why does my oven keep burning things?

Oven Calibration A common cause for your oven to start burning food is the calibration, a badly calibrated oven is usually noticeable because of how it burns your food. If the edges of your food are burnt but the centre is still cooked then poor calibration is likely the reason.

Why does my gas oven cook unevenly?

The oven will heat unevenly if either the bake or broil elements are burned out. ... You can do a quick visual test to see if either element is burned out by preheating your oven. If either the bake (bottom) or broil (top) elements are not glowing red hot, it will need to be replaced.

Why does my gas oven burn the bottom of everything?

If you don't preheat, you get too much heat from the bottom burner, which is on, and there is no hot air above cooking the baked goods. Also if you fill the oven too full, you don't get proper heat circulation, which can also cause the bottoms to burn before the tops bake.

How do I stop my oven from burning?

How to prevent oven fires

1. Make sure your oven is clean before use.
2. Do not leave cooking food unattended.
3. When making cakes and pastries, put a slightly larger baking tray underneath your baking pan or cupcake tin.
4. Put a cover on food that might splatter.

Do gas ovens need calibration?

Can you calibrate your gas oven if it is running hot or cold? If it has digital controls, it should be able to apply a calibration adjustment in the same way an electric oven does. If it does not, then your gas oven will require a more complicated calibration. Contact a certified service technician for assistance.
