Baking Thread 3

[mistiqshannen]

baka po kulang ang time?

usually kasi nipreheat ko ang oven while im mixing para pag done nako nasa 350F na sya.
tapos ginagawa ko, pinaabot ko sya ng 400F kasi once nagpasok ka ng pan sa oven bumababa ang temp and meron ako oven thermometer kasi palpak yun sa oven. akala ko nasa 350F kana pero hindi pa pala.. so very important ang thermometer. Tapos bake ko lang sya ng 25 minutes.
so far naka perfect nako ng brownies. Nun una bake ko sakto pero yun texture ang di ko na nakuha.

MaraMeow, sa me tapat po sila ng honda cars sa me alabang zapote road - pa daang hari.

[iam star]

^ I'm making chiffon cake using my imarflex hand/stand mixer. (Can't buy kitchen aid mixer pa eh. ) so far successful naman.
^^ s chocolate lover ako bumibili Ng bensdorp cocoa powder sis. Siguro may callebaut chocolates din dun, not sure though.

sis ilang watts po motor ng mixer mo? anong model po ng imarflex? i want to start baking din kasi, have no idea what to buy.

[iam star]

sino po dito balak bumili ng convection oven? i read somewhere kasi na pwede direct na bumili sa imarflex and much cheaper yung price like 4k for 3in1 convection oven 30L! need kasi at least two buyers to get discounts.

San meron hands on baking workshops na hindi expensive, sa bandang QC? 

[angellouise06]

sis em_cee, try mo tumingin sa website ng chocolate lovers. meron silang mga classes dun kaso di ata lahat hand-on.

[em_cee]

^ok ba mga recipes nila?  Have you tried their recipes on your own?  Minsan kasi hindi masarap yun recipes. 

I've attended Heny Sison once kaso mahal eh.  Hands-on and masarap yun recipes nya.

[angellouise06]

^di pa ako nagtry sa chocolate lovers. s nestle lang ako nagtry pero libre lang yun. naghahanap lang ako ng recipes online then yun ang ibabake ko para matry kung ok. pag hindi either hanap ulit or improve ko na lang yung lasa.

Sis if you're new sa baking, hindi pa ganun kalaki ang budget, and hindi pa naman ganun kadami yung gagawin mo, pwede na kahit hand mixer lang muna. Kaya naman yun gawin any types of cake, mas matagal nga lang compared sa mga heavy duty stand mixer like kitchen aid. Mga hand mixer nakikita kong price range is P500 to 5K while stand mixer like kitchen aid starts at P20K. Meron ako dating nabili I think Hanabishi yun, mga 1K plus lang, okay naman hanggang ngayon buhay pa.

[MaraMeow]

@mistiqshannen thanks sis! Kakapunta ko lang bakecraft the other day okay naman though mas mahal sila ng mga 1-2pesos sa bnibilhan ko sa bf pero okay na din kasi mas malapit.

Mga sis sino meron ditoo kitchen aid na hand mixer lang? Okay po ba yun? Planning to buy sana.. Hindi ko pa kasi keri sa budget yung kitchen aid na stand mixer hehe..

[andee how?]

Namiss ko dito.

Eto, sinipag ako gumawa ng cake. To beat the monotony of making cinnamon rolls every single weekend for the family, cake naman para maiba.

But I'd still like to call myself a bread baker.

Girls, anyone here interested to get a firebrick charcoal-fed oven? May seller sa sulit selling his 2nd hand brick ovens he used in a pizzeria. He closed shop so he is selling them. P8.5k for one unit. I have spoken with him, willing to sell it for P7.5k but two units. Baka meron sa inyo interested maki-partner sa akin para tig-P7.5k nalang tyo? Send me an email (kasi wala akong facebook: pantone000@yahoo.com
I will be checking out the unit next Sunday. Kung good to go, get ko na! Super excited na ako magbake ng bread and pizza in a brick oven! I am very determined to get this kasi lalo na charcoal-powered yun, so yung savings ko sa hindi paggamit ng electricity or LPG, magagamit ko sa pagbili ng mga premium ingredients for my breads. Sooo excited!

    im using kyowa electirc oven and im loving it :=)

Hi sis.  I just bought Kyowa 28L oven. How to use the oven for baking cupcakes and cookies?  Top rods, bottom rods, or both?  And do you follow the baking time in the recipe or need to lessen the time?

Flop yun cupcake ko yesterday kasi Celcius pala sa oven.  Hindi ko na convert, kaya pala till 250 lang. Engots lang po!  Sayang, Magnolia Gold butter pa naman gamit ko.

Hoping for your reply.

Pasali..

I've never owned nor used an oven in the Philippines and I want to know if which oven to buy for hobby baking (mga 2x-3x a week).I mostly bake cakes and pastry.I'm used to ovens that are built in under a cooktop (I've no idea if this is gas or electric).Buying a gas range oven scares me.Is there a steep learning curve for those? I never had to set the gas levels in my previous ovens ( Mid East, Singapore and now Aussie) before.
My ovens had fan forced,top , bottom,top & bottom then normal and goes up to 300 Celsius.
Feedbacks naman please on gas vs. electric ovens, energy consumption?



Thanks!

[mistiqshannen]

hi bluegintonic, same as your never did i had an oven nor gas range. Since allergic ako on electric bills shooting up kaya nag gas nalang ako. Yun nga italian series ng la germania gas range have
fan na din. I think they helps on making the heat sa oven even and spread. Yan yun problem ko
sa elba gas range ko. I bought also their italy made (elba) yun medyo malaki na 60x60 ang size.
the smaller kasi is at 50X50. Since yun lighter ng oven ko and all stove are triggered by electric
hindi nako nagsisindi ng posposro or ligther para sya sumindi. its 5 watts lang naman yun lighter e
kaya para din syang stove na when i opened ganun na sindi agad. Im not sure though if la germania
has that feature na. hindi ko masyado nabusisi nun nag cacanvas ako. Kasi nga originally i was
eyeing for la germania italian series and end up to elba haha..

If 2-3x a week ka nagbabake.. mas ok get a gas range or electric range na. kasi if electric oven alam ko parang small lang sya to fit yun ga big pans. tapos you can bake 2 pans at a time pa. Yun sakin kasya ang 9x13 inches pan dalawa. also 2 12 pcs pan of cupcake sabay na agad.

and go with gas kasi ang laki sa kuryente yan e lalo if nasa pinas ka.

Hi mga Sis!

Parang gusto ko uli magbake ng mga cupcakes and cookies. Nakapagtry na ako dati magbake ng chocolate cupcake pero hindi ko nagustuhan yung chocolate na ginamit ko.
Ano ba ang masarap na chocolate powder/bar na na-try niyo na?
Madami akong nakikita like FERNA, Goya and etc. Yung sakto lang sana sa budget. TIA mga sis!

[em_cee]

Hi mga sis.  Kapag sinabi SALT sa recipe, is that iodized or rock?

[mistiqshannen]

Andmont, bensdorp cocoa powder gamit ko po. nasa 180 ata sya per 500g. pero matagal mo na magagamit yun. Usually pag chocolate cupcake cocoa lang. no need for chocolate pa. Pero i bought chocolate bars sa baking shops. yun premium. Nasa 90 pesos isang buo bar. Try mo lang uli and look for a good recipe. For choco chips, yun per kilo binibili ko.

em_cee, rock salt lang gamit ko hehe kahit sabihin kosher salt..
