We recently received a tip regarding our Ateco Cake Testers that we wanted to share with everyone.
Ruthanne Tomko stopped in earlier this month to purchase a carving knife and decided to pick up a cake tester. Afterward, she emailed to let us know that it also works really well as a potato “poker.”
I must confess that I’m guilty of not checking at all. I eyeball the size of the spud and pretty much guess. When I bake cakes I follow the recommendations. But, sometimes this results in under/overcooked food. In the past, I used toothpicks but stopped buying those altogether.
It’s important to consider the things that can affect cooking times and temperatures: ingredients, altitude, pan size, and oven performance.
So, I asked myself: If I’m investing time, energy, and materials, why not invest in a cake tester of my own? For a minimal price, I can ensure that my veggies, as well as my baked goods, really are done to perfection!
I want to give a shout out of appreciation to Ruthanne for taking the time to share her recommendation!
