  • If you’ve ever seen a good cook in action, you’ll realize that cooking is quite instinctive. Many proficient cooks can take random ingredients, add just the right mix of spices and condiments, and turn it all into a hearty meal, all with almost terrifyingly casual ease.
    Baking, on the other hand, is nothing like cooking. Careful precision is a must if you want to avoid a baking fail. Besides all the rules you’re constantly supposed to follow, have you noticed the baking temperature is always given as 350 Fahrenheit, irrespective of the recipe? If you’ve ever wondered, here’s why we bake everything at 350 degrees.

      when baking pizza put you oven on the highest possible setting and wait for at least 15 mins. its to try to get as close as possible to the massive heat of a real pizza oven.
      couldve also been in the video. pizza at 350 is horrible. well not horrible but not great either.

    • @patrickwall8517
      @patrickwall8517 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Another tip for pizza is to place the rack on the top setting, that will help the crust and top bake more evenly. Don't pay attention to the baking times in recipes, things will continue to bake in the pan or on the cooling rack after you take them out. this is especially true of items baked with chocolate-I know it smells good when they're baking but that smell is the flavor baking out of them.

    You are kinda right. Its essentially low and slow with caramelization. It bakes evenly with a better chance of not burning. If you bake at 450, keep an eye on it. It will be done quick. Blink and you will go from not done to over done.

  • @galanie

    Experience tells me more than recipes do often. For things I make often, I simply know when they're done by the smell. But it takes me cooking things in the oven a few times before I arrive at the right setting for it. And every oven is a bit different. So yeah, follow a recipe exactly if you aren't sure, but once you've been around that block a few times, then you'll just know if you pay attention.

      Because back then, bakers usually had a feeling for how to do it. If you, on the other hand, happily throw a fist full of flour into a gas flame oven, you might end up causing a deflagration, burning away that pretty face of yours.

      disclaimer since liability lawyers are a dime a dozen today. MTV got sued over Beavis and Butthead playing with fire, Mythbusters warns not to try anything at home even things that could be done safely in a driveway(with the cars removed). Sadly all it takes is one idiot setting a house on fire to generate a lawsuit and they go to court and are all "Well the video on youtube never said this was unsafe to try at home". And if you get the right judge or a dumb enough jury, you can actually win no matter how much stupidity was employed.

  • @tc5210
    @tc5210 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Also a method of cooking before homes had ovens was the Iron campfire pot or Dutch oven as they are also called. When used with a fire/coals the internal temperatures of a Dutch oven averages 350'f with medium or larger campfire/ coals. Most single family's or small groups would have had access to these ovens since they were portable and easy to use unlike wood stoves which were much heavier and expensive. Fireside cooking with Dutch ovens has a lot to do with the 350 rule of cooking.

I finished a smoked pork shoulder in the oven last year (after 4 hours it won't take any more smoke anyway) and I put my Bluetooth thermometer's temp probes that I use to monitor chamber temp into the oven also, to either side of the pan with the meat. I set the temp to 240, the oven went up to 240, then dropped to 230, back and forth. So now I know that baking recipes which call for 350 need to be set at 360 to get the right chemical reactions.

    At high altitudes (over 3,500 ft), some baking recipes are at 375 degrees F due to the lower boiling point of water. With some cake mixes there is a couple tablespoons of flour and a little more water added to the mix and baked at 375 degrees F according to the warning on the side of the box. Most other things are at 350 degrees here with the frozen pizzas at 400 degrees.

    I always bake cake layers at 325. I'm not a huge fan of dark crust on layer cakes and it eliminates the dome cake layers get when baked at 350 and therefore no cutting the tops off...no waste. 325 also helps keep layers moist. At 350, the outside of the layers bake before the center. The outside sets and then the center bakes and rises but since the outside is already set, the expanding middle and creates a dome. At 325, the layers bake and rise more evenly...no dome. 350 is ideal for muffins and some cupcakes. Biscuits and scones are best at 450-475. That's where I like crust. For cookies, I always set it to the temperature the recipe calls for. Different types of cookies call for different oven settings. Everything else such as savory dishes 350.

    Actually, great grandmother's wood-fired stove was infinitely adjustable. Depending on the model, she could adjust the amount of wood inside, the size and number of logs, the amount of air entering, and the amount of exhaust escaping. Each of these controls was infinitely adjustable. The recipes might have specified 3 different temps, but every housewife knew precisely how to manipulate her stove to make it perfect every time. My grandmother once said there was nothing that cooked better than a wood stove.

    Sad news today, so please join me in remembering yet another great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and traumatic complications from repeatedly being poked in his belly during his lifetime. The veteran Pillsbury spokesman was 71. Dough Boy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; three children, John Dough, Jane Dough, and Dill Dough; plus they also had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. Services were held yesterday at 350 for about 20 minutes.
    Dough Boy (DB) was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.
    Longtime friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing DB as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. DB rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers.
    He was not considered a very “smart” cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, but was thought of a roll model for millions. Toward the end, it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he remained unleavened.

      i.imgur.com/jZWq22O.jpg
      Now, the thing is, if you cook pizza at too low of a temperature, you need to cook it for longer, which means you're going to vaporize a lot of the water that's in there. The idea is you use a high temperature to get a crisp crust, a soft, moist interior to the bread portion, and heat the cheese and sauce up. Then you're done. Cook it at 350 degrees, it takes a longer time to fully cook the dough, and that lets the moisture out. this is because we're talking about a very thin amount of bread dough as opposed to a much thicker amount used for baking a loaf.
