Temperature Control

Time and temperature control is the key to successful baking. Before starting with any baking process check the temperature of oven and refrigerator and keep constant watch on the batter or dough. The temperature of the ingredients, when added, affects reactions after mixing. Cold ingredients increase the mix time, while warm ingredients reduce it. Further, dough or batter at high temperature leads to large holes in the finished product. A kitchen thermometer and a timer are great tools to control temperature and regulate time.
