Box Care
Your new cake box is made from Hoop Pine. Timber's natural characteristics is to expand and contract depending on the weather and temperature.
Once heated to the recommended temperature to bake your cakes, it will naturally expand marginally, however once cooled it should contract back.
Before use, it is important that you season your new cake box. Simply brush a light cooking oil on the inside and outside of your box.
Place in a cool oven and bake for 30 minutes at 150 degrees, then allow to cool in the oven.
You may notice a pine smell during this seasoning process, this is quite normal as the oils are released from the box.
Remember to always line your cake box with either baking paper or brown paper and never wash the box, simply brush any crumbs or spills out after use. These are designed for slow and low baking, lower temperature of 150 degrees maximum and for a longer baking period of time and that you bake all your cakes on the middle rack of your oven. In time your cake box will age gracefully.
Box Lining Instructions
Measure the perimeter of the box.
Cut and fold the baking paper to fit around the sides of the box.
Measure the base of the box.
Cut and place baking paper to fit the base of the box.
Cut another sheet of baking paper and cover the top after aprox. 1/2 hour or when top crunches up and continue baking until fully cooked.
