Troubleshooting Common Baking Problems

Why do my cakes sink in the middle?
You peeked! Opening the oven door during baking is a no-no! Another cause for this is a cool-running oven, in which cause its temperature is too cool. Check the temperature with an oven thermometer, and if the temperature is low, its time to call Home-Tech and schedule a service call for an oven repair.
Why are my cookies always burnt?
An uncalibrated oven. Similar to a sinking cake problem, you must compare the temperature inside the oven with that of the gauge. Chances are pretty good that your oven isn’t calibrated and can be off as much as 50°!

If you can’t find the calibration gauge, Home-Tech can perform the oven calibration for you.
Why do my pies always end up soggy or doughy?
Close that oven door! If heat keeps escaping from your oven, you aren’t baking efficiently. You have essentially undercooked your pie dough. Have you checked to make sure your oven door has a tight seal? Do you feel warm air escaping from the oven while it’s on? Don’t ruin another pie, call Home-Tech for an oven repair service.
Why is my cake always lopsided?
A lopsided cake is a sure sign of uneven baking. Check to make sure your baking pans or oven racks are even. Placement of the pan in the oven is the key to even cake baking. If you push it closer to one side or the other, lopsidedness can occur.
