Using Your Nigeria Local Oven

-
Oven is a device used for cooking (baking and grilling) of foods. It can be powered using electricity, gas, charcoal and wood (in local bread bakery)

   The Nigeria local oven is usually powered with cooking gas and/or charcoal and can be used for baking and grilling.

   The common Nigeria oven is usually made up iron sheets and painted black(black is a good absorber and bad radiator of heat) and uses charcoal and cooking gas.

   For perfect baking using the Nigeria local oven, below are few but genuine things to put into consideration;

   ✓Preheat your oven for 10-15minutes before baking.
✓Use good quality and sufficient quantity of charcoal(for the charcoal type)
✓Ensure there is enough gas in your cylinder before baking.
✓Balance your oven by putting it on a levelled surface.
✓Balance your oven tray and rack.
✓Place your cake on the 2nd rack from below to avoid burnt cake.
✓Lag your oven (If needed)
✓ Let your cake bake for at least 25 minutes before opening the oven door as frequent opening of the oven door results into sudden drop in oven temperature which may adversely affect the resulting cake.
✓For a evenly baked cake, turn your cake and bake for 10 more minutes (if needed).

ADVANTAGES OF LOCAL OVEN
•The advantages of local oven over electrical oven is that local oven can be used in area with bad electricity supply or no electricity at all and one can be rest assured that the product being baked is provided with an uninterrupted temperature throughout the baking process.

      Thanks for your feedback... This could be caused by a low Oven temperature. This means the dough rises to its maximum, then collapses before it gets enough heat to set. Or, dough could have been over-risen.

      Try;
      1. Increasing your oven temperature
      2. Make sure the dough is properly raised

      If that's the case, I'd advice you place your cake at the middle rack (the 2nd rack from the source of heat) and place thick clothing materials (it helps to provide heat from the top of the oven and also prevent heat loss) on top of your oven

      Hi... To connect your gas cylinder to your even you'd need;
      • Regulator (replacing the burner position)
      • Hose (to connect the gas through the regulator to the side of the oven that has the heat control)
      • 2 hose clips(to keep the hose firm at both ends)

      To get a brown top for your bread, increase the heat a bit when the bread is almost done probably for a few minutes

Tips On Working With Fondant During Harmattan

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by to read this post, do search through my blog for other fondant related posts and more...    Fondant can be very tricky to work with during Harmattan as the air is dry and absorbs moisture quickly from fondant and hence there is a resulting cracks on your fondant, if not worked upon on time. Fondant could also develop a dent(Elephant skin) and this reduce the aesthetics of a fondant covered cake      To avoid these, one must put every other thing aside when working with fondant to avoid it from cracking as it would have dried up at the time of attending to other things...     Aside the time factor that requires close attention, you might need to adjust your fondant recipe as thus; • Edible Glycerine: Use enough edible glycerine on your fondant during harmattan as it would help retain it's  moisture unlike during rainy season when you could toss it away from your recipe as it could cause sweating • CMC/Tylose: The main function of CMC in

How To Fix A Sweating Fondant

Fondant is an edible icing used for covering cakes, it is made using confectioner Sugar and other ingredients. These ingredients differ based on the type of fondant that works for individual cake artist.    Fondant types include marshmallow fondant, gelatin fondant and egg white fondant.      The egg white fondant is different from sugar paste because there is no tylose powder in an egg white fondant recipe.    During rainy season, it's very likely for fondant to sweat( melt) and hence become sticky because the amount of water vapour in the air is high and fondant traps water from the atmosphere which in return melts the fondant and during dry season, fondant loses its moisture to the atmosphere and hence easily cracks... To cut the long story short!    During a normal season, when there is  normal humidity the fondant is expected to harden perfectly but seasonal temperature and humidity works against fondant during rainy season just as it does during dry season.    Fo
