Sometimes, in the midst of grilling the layers, a big bubble peak will form. Hav u encountered that before and how do u solve it? I will use the lapis presser to flatten the peak; in the end, that particular layer does not stick well (i.e. comes apart). Can u give me some advice please? Thanks very much.<br /><br />- JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-51682818608342174952010-04-13T07:04:11.780-06:002010-04-13T07:04:11.780-06:00jackie

Perhaps I am still not very sure how to use my ariston oven. Like convention, cake & ventilation mode is confusing me when I do my various baking. My lapis were burnt not only the 4 sides but the bottom as well. Also, when u said beat egg white till soft peaks, do u mean when I turn the mixing bowl upside down, it doesn't drop??
