Sakura Multi-Function Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CAKE BAKING
Cake is not cooked or
doesn’t rise
•
The cooking time may have been too short
•
Beat any egg whites until foamy, otherwise there may
not be sufficient rise to the cake
•
Do not beat egg whites too much – if they separate,
they are beaten too much and will cause the cake to
collapse
•
Measure the ingredients accurately – inaccuracy in
measuring can cause insufficient baking/rising
•
Over-mixing the batter when adding the flour may
cause insufficient baking or rising
•
Adding too many additional ingredients can cause the
cake to bake unevenly – follow the amount listed in
recipes
•
Bake the cake immediately after preparing the batter
- allowing the batter to sit for an extended period of
time may deflate the batter and cause the cake to
collapse
Cake rises too much
•
Did you add baking powder or baking soda? Do not
add baking powder or baking soda as it may cause
the cake to rise too high
Cake is difficult to release
from the inner bowl
•
Make sure you grease the inner bowl well
•
Leave the cake to cool completely
The cake breaks easily
•
Freshly baked cake can break easily. Make sure you
leave the cake to cool completely before turning out
or handling
The cake is scorched/burnt
•
Make sure the inner bowl isn’t deformed
•
The cooking time may have been too long, make sure
you follow the recommended cooking times
NOTE
– do not place other cake pans or wax paper into the appliance or inner bowl. Doing so
may cause a malfunction or the inner bowl to deform
STEAMING
Food does not steam
•
Is there sufficient water for steaming? Make sure
there is water to at least the two cup mark on the
inner bowl
•
Is there too much food in the steaming basket? –
reduce the amount of food or increase the cooking
time
•
The food may be in too large pieces, reduce the size
of food pieces or increase the cooking time
