Troubleshooting
Cake sticks to the tin
Ensure the tin was adequately greased and floured before baking. The non-stick coating may be damaged; consider if utensils have scratched the surface.
Uneven baking
Check oven temperature for accuracy. Ensure the tin is placed in the center of the oven for even heat distribution. Rotate the tin halfway through baking if necessary.
Non-stick coating appears worn
This can happen with age or from improper cleaning/use of utensils. Avoid abrasive cleaners and metal utensils. Hand washing is crucial.
