How long does it take to bake potatoes in the oven?

This will depend on the size of the potatoes and the heat of the oven.

If you want to bake potatoes in their jackets a useful technique is to push a metal knife (It must be completely metal like a stainless steel dining knife with no bone or plastic handles) or metal skewer right through or at least into the middle of each potato - the metal will conduct the heat into the centre of the potato and this will reduce the cooking time.

If the potatoes are large you may want to halve or quarter them and place them on a baking tray. Peeling the potatoes and cutting them into smaller portions will also reduce baking time. If you pack them close together they will take longer to cook, so space them out.

Generally about 30 - 40 minutes in a moderate oven should be enough to bake a medium sized potato. Unless you have a small oven, or are baking something else in the oven at the same time, it is not a cost effective way of cooking potatoes.

What helps bake products rise?

There are several things which help baked products rise. The one you use often depends on what it is you are baking. For homemade breads, yeast is what is used to make the bread rise.

How do you make scrabled eggs?

Assuming you spelled correctly and mean scrabled not scrambled, to me that means eggs with meat in them. Sausage would probably be the most common I would think. Just fry the sausage and drain the grease from the pan. It should be crumbled which could be done while cooking and then put the beaten eggs in and cook until done to the stage you want. Some like them looser than others.

Should you cover your ham with foil while baking?

yes, due to the length of time it takes to bake a ham, you need to protect the outside of the ham from getting tough. the moisture in the ham would dissipate too fast friom the surface and it would be very dry. some cooks remove the foil the last 10-15 minutes so browning occues or a sauce is applied for taste.

What are all the reasons that eggs are used in baking?

I'm going to answer this assuming you mean regular chicken eggs. The four types of eggs used in baking are whole eggs, egg yolks, egg whites, and meringue. Meringue is simply egg whites which have been beaten until they are light and fluffy, and hold a stiff peak. This is commonly done with many cake recipes to increase the volume and lightness of the cake.

Why is it important to prove the dough after kneading?

Proving or Proofing dough makes little air bubbles in the dough. The air bubbles make the dough light and airy, instead of hard and flat. To test if dough has risen or Proofed enough, poke the loaf. If the poke leaves a hole, the dough is ready. If the dough springs back right away, it needs more proofing/proving.

How long to bake jumbo muffins?

It is a difficult question to answer. It depends on the temperature of your ingredients. If you have added frozen blueberries, it will take longer to bake the muffins then if you added bananas that were at room temperature.

If you are making 6 large muffins instead of 12 standard ones, it makes sense to bake the larger muffins for twice as long as the original recipe, but I wouldn't count on that to be accurate. Not to make this to complicated, what I would do is double the baking time and then set the timer for 75% of that number. I would then check it ever couple of minutes after that until a toothpick inserted to the center of the muffin comes out clean.

For example: If the original recipe said 16 minutes, double that which is 32 minutes and then take 75% of that which is 24 minutes (32 x .75).

Make a note on the recipe so you don't have to guess next time.
