What is a cake shield?

Many people who bake cakes are frustrated when the edges of the bark begin to brown faster than the center of the bark. Some crusts will burn, while the interior still does not cook thoroughly, or the upper center of the crust is still pale and unattractive. The burning edges of the bark do not contribute to the attractiveness of the cake and this problem can be particularly pronounced when you bake pudding cakes without upper crust or cakes with relatively hard fruit, such as apples that require longer cooking. Alternatively, if you want crimping the bark near the edge of the tin of the cake, as well as for the fork, thinner bark at the edges cooks faster. For this reason, many bakers of the cakes celebrate the cake shield. The most common are the rings made of aluminum, which are finely placed above the cake, sometimes in the middle of the baking process to prevent burning the edges of the bark. Those cure types of shields to buy a cake that come in several rounded pieces that can be placed around the outer cortex and can compensate for larger or smaller cakes. Size canE may differ and may need a few or more piece cakes if you use several pans of different sizes.

One of the recent additions to cake shield materials are materials made of silicone instead of aluminum. Some people prefer them because they do not tend to stick to. Both material will protect the edges of cakes from excessive shock or even burning, but people complain that aluminum shields can stick to some extent. One way to prevent this is to wait for the edges of the bark to cook perfectly. At this point, they will be difficult, so there is a small danger that the shield really holds on the bark. With any type of label, you will need to cook the cake for part of the time so that the edge is thoroughly cooked.

Shields cakes are cheap and stand between $ 5-10 US dollars (USD); Silicone tends to be more expensive than aluminum types. However, some chefs say thatYou can have a perfectly prepared cake without ever using it. Instead of buying a shield with a cake of the crust simply use some folded over the foil around the edges of the cake if it seems to cook. This prevents burning of the bark edges, usually it will not stick if you put them on the cake when the crust is already hard and can be modified for any size or shape of the cake. You can also recycle aluminum foil and rinse it after use.

There are so many fans of the aluminum foil method as the Shield Shield Pie Crust method to avoid burnt cake edges. Those who prefer aluminum foil, such as an adaptable size of the foil, and some also claim that if you do not carefully stuck the cake shield, the light aluminum easily bends from the shape and draws the label for the woods. Silicone shields tend to fit better and if you store something on them, it will bend permanently.
