    Can I add a tip....super dark baking pans need to be factored in! These will make your cookies cook faster so keep an eye on them or lower the temperature by 25 degrees!

      Yes! I never hear people mention this. It’s important though.

      is that a real thing? bc my cookies turned way darker probably bc of my oven being hotter than what the thing actually says, but maybe it's because I also have a black oven tray

    My scale is my most valuable baking tool. I used cups up until about 5 years ago and it definitely improved my baking. Sifting made a big difference too. I used just a whisk for a while, that works too, untill I started watching John's videos then I switched to a sieve and that improved my baking even more.
    Johns recipes and videos have definitely improved my baking skills overall and gave me more confidence.

  • @darriendastar3941

    That was excellent, common sense advice. It reminded me of the bad habits that have crept into my baking over the years. Any baker should watch this at least once a year.

  • @AFHenley

    That idea about putting the bread in the oven to check for hot spots is so simple but brilliant. I would never have thought of that. Love this.

    • @RhubarbandRoots
      @RhubarbandRoots 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm doing this! I just bought a new oven, and it never occurred to me to find the "hot spots".

    • @Laibah.khan.

    You literally changed my baking life. I never realized the flour weight thing. I’ve been PACKING my measuring cups. It’s what I was taught. Never again. I’m investing in a scale soon thank you!!

  • @MilkyWhite1
    @MilkyWhite1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Buying a scale really changed my life. Now I can easily divide recipes down for two people, bake a fourth of a box of brownies or a box cake. It's a delight. I can't believe I lived so long without it.

  • @BlackRose91
    @BlackRose91 2 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    I love how you posted this video a day after I burnt my batch of cookies at the bottom of the oven, because I decided to save time and put all batches at once in there XD Glad to know I ain't the only one doing this, and definitely just going to bake each batch one at a time in the center of it.

  • @HeavymetalHylian
    @HeavymetalHylian ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Getting a scale completely changed my baking game. Way less cleanup, consistent results, and sifting became much easier because I just sift the flour/sugar into the bowl until it's the right weight. It's also great for dividing dough and other mixtures. It even measures floz and ml👍

  • @ramonaearnest4709
    @ramonaearnest4709 2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

  • @denagustafson6070
    @denagustafson6070 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I’m always astonished by comments that indicate that the recipe wasn’t good, but go on to state that they decided to use replacements for multiple ingredients! Ex: 2 eggs vs. 4 eggs, swapped out AP flour for self-rising (& Vice versa), used oil in place of butter, and my favorite of all - decided it wasn’t important to allow the dough to rise! They shouldn’t complain if they didn’t follow the recipe!
    Thank you for the suggestions! Use of a scale was my #1 change that brought my baking to the next level.

    Love you but
    BEST BEFORE is NOT the same as Expired!
    Food waste is a huge problem! Please do not perpetuate the myth that best before date means anything to do with expired.
    All you have to do is drop a 1/2tsp of the baking soda or baking powder into 1/4cup hot water (and vinegar if testing baking soda) and look for a bubbling reaction - if there’s fizzing, it’s still good to use!

But, I'll definitely update my inventory and use the old ones for cleaning 😁. I'm so excited to try baking more often now 🙌🏽. Thank you again John, your videos and recipes are a God send ❤️.

    A lot of bakers here on TH-cam dip their cups in the flour to measure. You can’t see how they’re not PACKING the measuring cup…you can’t see that they’re really fluffing it and measuring it with the cup. It really does a disservice to learners.

I do like how this ovens browns a golden even color if I make something covered in cheese, but I have to get used to it to bake.
