5 essential baking tips and tricks you need to know

1. Use dental floss for even cakes  We know how this sounds odd, but trust us. When you bake two cakes in an oven at the same time and need to stack them, the one that’s underneath will often end up flat, while the one on top will end up a bit rounded. Once the cakes are baked and cooled, use unflavoured dental floss to cleanly cut the top of the rounded cake so it’s levelled out and the same height as the flat one. This makes stacking and icing much easier, as both cakes are the same height and are nice and flat.  But if you have a NEFF oven with Circo Therm®, you can save the floss for when you brush your teeth. Why? Well, the Circo Therm® allows for an even cook across multiple dishes – including multiple pans of Victoria sponge cake. But if (and it’s a big if) one cake looks slightly taller than the rest, pull out your trusty dental floss and even it up.  2. Know your oven  No two ovens are the same – some ovens run a little hot, while others can operate on the cooler side. Investing in a thermometer can go a long way with your baking, as you can easily check the temperature while you cook and adjust as required.  The ovens in the NEFF Flex Design range all clearly show the settings being used along with the temperature on the oven’s touchscreen display (with some models having a 6.8 inch display!). The temperature of these ovens is also easy to adjust – just press a button or use the Twist Pad Flex. So whether you’re baking orange shortbread or a loaf of brioche, temperature is key for a consistent, even bake.  3. Invest in a good steam oven  If you find that your bakes are dry or cracked on top, it boils down to a lack of moisture. Budding bakers can get a no-fail solution by investing in a steam oven that can help them to bake anything their heart desires – from banana bread to passionfruit puddings and beyond. The NEFF Flex Design range includes steam ovens that have the Full Steam, Added Steam or Steam Inject functions, which can help you take your bakes to the next level.  Plus, the various steam ovens in the Flex Design range also feature the Slide & Hide® full disappearing door – this can help you check the progress on your bakes (and take them out of the oven) once they’re baked to perfection.  So Investing in a NEFF steam oven is a great tool for any baker who wants exceptional results every time while retaining maximum flavour.  4. Avoid a soggy bottom with a metal pie pan  When baking pies that have a soft and juicy filling, like a nectarine frangipane or banoffee tart, there’s always a risk of having a soggy bottom. But one easy kitchen hack is to place the pie pan on a pre-heated surface, like a pizza stone. By using these pre-heated bases, you can bake your base quicker so that the liquids of your pie don’t soak the bottom.  You can, of course, invest in a NEFF oven that has the Circo Therm® Intensive feature. This feature uses a combination of the patented Circo Therm® fan technology and bottom heat, which helps crisp up the base of certain foods, such as a berry galette all without risking the infamous soggy bottom.  5. Multitask like a pro  Whether you’re baking an elaborate cake or a loaf of bread, more often than not you’re juggling multiple things at once. And having a kitchen that caters to your baking needs can truly make a difference. The NEFF Slide & Hide® oven allows you to easily access your bakes and see how they’re going – allowing you to balance whipping up cream with checking your bakes without risking the dreaded door burn. The door seamlessly glides under the oven, so you can get nice and close, while the telescopic rails slide your dish right out so you don’t have to awkwardly reach into the oven.  Planning to upgrade your kitchen appliances or replace an old oven?

Chicken enchiladas

Roughly dice the tomato and place on a universal tray lined with baking paper.  Add the diced onion, olive oil, chilli. Add half of the garlic, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt and allspice. Place on level 3 of the oven. Use the remaining spices to coat the chicken then place on a wire rack on level 4 of the oven. Using the MultiPoint MeatProbe insert it into the largest chicken and set the core temperature to 70 degrees on CircoRoast and add a high level of added steam. Start from a cold oven. Once cooked remove and cool the chicken, then shred or roughly chop. Place the rice into a steamer tray with the water, washed kidney beans and a teaspoon of salt. Steam for 20 minutes then cool and add to the chicken. Place the tomatoes into a medium mixing bowl and using the back of a spoon mash the tomatoes until they become a saucy consistency. Roughly chop half the coriander and mix into the sauce, then divide into thirds. Place the first third onto the bottom of a baking tray, mix the second third into the chicken and rice, use the last third to dip the tortillas into before adding the chicken mix and rolling up. Once you have prepared the tortillas lay all the enchiladas seam side down into the baking pan and pour any remaining tomato sauce over the top, then add the tasty cheese and mozzarella. Place back into the oven on top and bottom heat and bake on 200 degrees for 15 minutes or until the cheese has browned. Remove from the oven and serve with dollops of sour cream and the remaining coriander over the top.
