Abstract
In the previous paper, we examined the temperature and time necessary for Baking eight pieces of each 25g of cream puff crust. This time we investigated the optimal conditions for baking various sizes of this crust at one time with a home gas oven. Followings were the results obtained.
1. For the baking of 16 pieces of each 12.5g,180°C for 15 min or 200°C for 12 min; for 4 pieces of each 50g,200°C for 18 min or 220°C for 14 min; for 2 pieces of each 100g,220°C for 17 min; and for 1 piece of 200g,220°C for 20 min plus 150°C for 15 min are the same best conditions.
2. Owing to the restriction of the oven, the oven temperature barely attained at 220°C and the maximal weight of one piece which could bake with this oven was 400g, but in this case, the crust did not sufficiently expand even though any combination of baking conditions.
3. The relationship between the temperature of oven and that of inside the paste is as follows: a. The larger the one piece, the more slowly its inside temperature rises toward the oven temperature. b. In the case of more than 200g per piece, the lower the oven temperature, the more slowly the inside temperature rises, and below 100g per piece, the inside temperature rises rapidly, whether or not the oven temerature is high or low.
