Cool the sponges and cakes

I. INTRODUCTION:

The tools and equipment used in your baking is a huge time saver and great asset to the business, however, when not used properly it can break down or even result in an accident, causing the business to slow or come to a halt. Cleaning thoroughly at the end of each day can help provide your equipment with a longer life. Deep cleaning all equipment routinely can also help the equipment last as long as possible. Ensure proper use, it’s always best to read the user manual. Sometimes there are small quirks that the manual recommends or recommends avoiding not adhering to those guidelines can cause the equipment to malfunction. Cakes need to cool properly before they're handled. Wire cooling racks are perfect for cake to cool on after they're removed from baking pans, because the wire cooling racks allow air to circulate all around the cakes while it cools. After removing your cake from the oven, let it cool slightly in the pan until the top feels firm. This gives the cake a chance to finish baking from within and acclimate itself to room temperature. Then turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. DO NOT try to cool the cake quickly by placing it in the refrigerator -- the rapid cooling will shock the cake, making it stick to the pan, collapse or both. Once it's properly cooled, frost your cake and enjoy. BAKING TOOLS & EQUIPMENT A. Measuring Tools
