Is it just me or has anyone else found themselves adding 10 minutes or more to cakes when using bake even strips....I am really starting to wonder, is it the strips or do I really need to start measuring out the batter?

I find that I usually end up adding times with or without strips, but I think that it is because I like to have a full pan, so I use more batter than called for.

I never go by cook times on the pans. I tend to overfill them a little so I can easily level right across the top of the pan while piping hot. icon_biggrin.gif I always use the bake even strips and love them.

I bake by sight though, always have. One day, it might take 40 min to cook, another, 45. I never measure my batter either. icon_razz.gif

Cake strips slow the speed at which heat enters the batter. It will often add to your baking time.
