InCREDibly informative!!! Most videos are made by people less passionate about the art of cooking as they are about being a personality; a YouTube celebrity, so to speak. Give me Julia any day. Yes, you have a lovely personality but your passion, dedication and education show. We learn from you! Thank you for your contribution to our culinary education.

This video is great (short, clear & makes a LOT of sense) and it was very easy to understand.

I also loved your advice on how to get muffins to inflate really well (i.e. by simply adjusting the temperature).

I'm one of those people who can't keep their hands off the door to check due to impatience and excitement, hahaha :).

My mother used to tell me never to open the oven door when baking, yet I'd never really take it seriously.

The way you explained why made total sense though.

So next time I'm baking something, I'll be sure not to touch, unless absolutely necessary (near the end).

I also appreciate how you give an approximate baking time (I've always wondered about this), and once again - made total sense to me, as I've noticed the end result depends on a lot of factors (oven temperature, room temperature, heat setting, type of batter, etc., ... ).

Thank you, I love your energy! :).

Hi. Thanks for the wonderful tips. The problem i face is that the cake gets very hard and burnt on one side and incooked on another side. Pl advise if it needs any change in oven setting

[gennesiededios]

thank you its very helpful I'm only a beginner so thanks for the big help

[judithcatlett]

Liked your baking information, especially time frame to heat your oven and the idea of two thermometers because ovens can have cold spots. And as you said some things can look obvious but aren't. Thank you so much.

Hi Amira, the oven that I have is only up to 250F, does it mean i cannot bake cake (chiffon) cake cause in the instruction say bake it to 350F? Will it helps if i will use oven thermometer till it reach to 350F temp.thank you & hope to hear from you.
