Let's learn about baking molds. 1. What kind of mold is used for baking?

Baking is an indispensable step in the production of bread and cake. After baking, starch will undergo a series of chemical changes such as gelatinization and protein denaturation, thus making food taste better. There are several types of baking molds:

Second, how to clean the baking mold for the first time?

The material of baking mould is different from the pots and pans we usually eat. Do not use steel balls, hard brushes, rough scouring pads and other hard objects to clean, and do not use too strong chemical cleaners to clean, otherwise it will damage the metal materials on the surface of the mold or not stick to the coating.

The cleaning method of baking mold is: after the mold is used, rinse it with warm water, scrub the stains with a soft cleaning cloth, and then dry it or dry it. If the mold is difficult to clean, it can be soaked in hot water for a long time before cleaning.

For the newly bought mold, two things should be made clear before the first use:

1, it is convenient and easy to know whether the mold is not sticky. If it is not non-sticky, you need to brush the mold before baking to avoid sticking and cleaning.

2. Using the volume of the mold and the specific volume of the mold dough, calculate the weight of the dough suitable for putting into the mold. The formula for calculating the volume of baking mould is: the weight of dough entering the mould = mould volume ÷ specific volume of mould dough. If it is a mold with regular shape, the volume can be calculated by length × width × height.
