How do you keep eggs from sticking when baking?

Suppose you have a 12-cup muffin tin and enough batter for only, say, six muffins. This myth says to fill the empty cups with water or you’ll get uneven baking and your tin might warp. It does no harm, but it’s a waste of time and has no effect whatever on the evenness of cooking.

Why are my muffins stuck to the cases?

While the egg cooks, its proteins are forming chemical bonds with the metal of the pan. A nonstick coating interferes with this bonding, and so does adding fat like oil or butter to the pan before the eggs. The layer of fat gets between the pan and the eggs and prevents the proteins from sticking.

Should I put water in the empty muffin tins?

If there is too much batter in the case then it will rise up and over the edges of the case as the cupcake bakes and the edge of the case can become trapped in the edge of the cupcake, making it more difficult to remove the paper.

What 2 ways can you check to see if a muffin is done baking?

Watch them closely because they’ll dry out if you cook them too long.

Because emulsifiers hold water and fat together, adding extra egg yolks to the batter enables the batter to hold extra liquid and, consequently, extra sugar.

What temperature is best to bake muffins?

Muffins use baking powder or baking soda, or both, to generate the “rise” that makes them light and fluffy. Use too little and they won’t rise enough, use too much and they will rise quickly and then collapse. Compare your recipe to others and see how much leavening they use.
