4. A detachable baking dish will help protect products from damage. It must be thoroughly greased with oil, sprinkled with flour or semolina (the silicone mold does not need to be lubricated). If there is no such shape, the pastries can be removed with a knife, carefully separating it from the walls (after cooling).
5. The optimum baking temperature is 160-175 degrees.
6. In order for the product to bake the same on all sides, it is necessary to put dishes with hot water on the bottom.
