Failures in Cooking and Baking
Wondering what went wrong with your new recipe
for the BEST cupcake in the WORLD? And you are trying to avoid the horror of
the experience
In our lives we all have experienced failures
and on the verge of giving up, because we are worried that it may happen again
but bigger. Like a big fear e.g.: spiders or sharks.
Well in baking and cooking, it is hard to make
things truly perfect and immaculate. But it's the mind set and thought in your
head that really count. Sound cliché but it is true. If a failure of a baked
good is the outcome, you may feel sad and broken hearted. Train yourself, to
find solutions and tips to solve the problem like researching tips and advice
on the internet, to make the failure better e.g.: tips on making short bread
cookies. Another tip is to reflect on what went wrong, and what could be the
factor that may have contributed in the failure.
Any things in baking and cooking contribute
when failures occur like cooking temperature, cooking time, whisking and many
more. These factors are hard to control because there are a variety of ways to
do them for example beating egg white for meringue pie, you can beat the egg at
high speed for all duration, low speed or in (multiple speeds) eg: low speed
for 2 minutes, then 3 mnutes on highs peed.
All humans have flaws and secrets, just like
baking and cooking. Just like Thomas Edison, the creator of the light bulb, he
blew up and destroyed many before he made and lit up the successful light
bulb.
Failure is like a learning point, or not. But
it is what you do with it.
Happy Cooking
