Test Kitchen Tips for Perfect Slices

The experienced bakers at The Australian Women’s Weekly Test Kitchen have accumulated a wealth of knowledge over the years. Here are their top tips for achieving slice-baking success:

Ovenware Matters: If your slices aren’t baking as quickly as you’d like, consider using an aluminium baking tray. Aluminium conducts heat more efficiently than tin or stainless steel.
Preheat for Perfection: For baked slices, preheating your oven is crucial. Most slices require less than 30 minutes of baking time, so ensure your oven is at the correct temperature for about 10 minutes before placing your slice inside.
Cool Before Icing: Always allow your slices to cool completely or reach room temperature before applying any icing. Applying icing to a warm slice can cause it to be absorbed, compromising the finish.
Tray Size is Key: When a recipe specifies a particular tray size, try to stick to it as closely as possible. Using a tray that’s too small can lead to overflow, while a tray that’s too large can result in a very thin, potentially dry slice.

Can Slices Be Frozen?

Most slice recipes can be successfully frozen for up to two months. However, it’s worth noting that slices with icings or cream fillings may experience changes in appearance or texture, such as cracking, as they thaw.
