Perfect Bake Demo - Bosch Serie 8 HBG6764 - Nigella Chocolate Fudge Cake made using Perfect Bake

[@dyvel]

This video reminded me that I never want a touch screen oven like the series 8. Thanks.

[@Arianne2019]

I really enjoyed your video, thank you. We’ve just bought the same Serie 8 Bosch oven as part of our kitchen refit. While we wait for it to be fitted I’ve been watching your videos and loved them all - honest and authentic, what a refreshing change to the glossy, over produced corporate stuff. Since it’s me doing the complete refit (with a qualified electrician signing off my work), we should be enjoying a gorgeous chocolate fudge cake by late-Summer! Thanks again, please keep the videos coming.

@@everythingandthekitchensink great video can you do a long update review of your Bosch washing machine please

[@amandahare]

Hello, Thanks for making your videos on the oven. I've watched them (all I think) a couple of times and they have been very helpful I am upgrading my Bosch oven. I am learning to bake gluten free breads and cakes. Baking gluten free bread is totally different to baking with wheat and gluten and I sometime end up with unedible results - generally there is too much moisture left in the bread. I have learned through an excellet cookbook that I should be weighing my dough before and after baking to calculate the % of moisture loss - great but not always easy when the bread is hot. After watching you bake a cake and explaining how the oven sensors detect steam/moisture in the air it made me think I need an oven with this feature. I've tried searching to find out whether it will work with gluten free baking but I am not finding an answer and Bosch global AI just wants to show me a baking story. Would you have heard if the bake assist works with gluten free breads? Thanks for your videos :)

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Hi! I don’t think I have made a gluten free cake before with bake assist. There isn’t an option in the cake list for gluten free. I had a look in the app programs and there is a gluten free Brad but it just recommends 4d hot air for 50ins at 165c. I think with this it’s just something that would need to be tried and see. I think the way the sensor work is by seeing how initial moisture is coming off the product and the applying a logical calculation to reduce the moisture to a set amount based on the product. Therefor it should not matter how quickly the moisture releases form the flour, it will just bee quicker or longer bake times. If that makes sense? But I could be totally wrong!! If I were to bake a gluten free loaf or cake, I would let you know!!!

Thank you for the video!

[@adeepoberoi1130]

do u have a suggestion for a countertop oven to bake cakes? so just for cakes nothing else. Which countertop would you suggest?

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

I’m not an expert in this, but a sage smart oven pro might be worth a look. It’s a bit pricy but you can expect consistent quality results.

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Or the ninja 10 in 1 multifunction oven, has a fan at the back so maybe better for baking. This is the one I would go for, I have other ninja products and they are very good. This one has multiple levels for batch baking!!

[@baharrrr]

I'm working on a new kitchen and this was so helpful, thank you! I wish there were more vids like this! My current oven is small and old, so question: Can this one bake two trays at once? Like I'm baking two sheet cakes? Your cake looks gorgeous!! I'll try the recipe! 😄 Thanks for sharing!

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Yes! 4d hot air allows you to cook FOUR shelves at the same time! That’s one of the selling features! Good luck with your new kitchen!!

@@everythingandthekitchensink Thank you!

I have a series 8 as well and tried to use the meat probe a few days ago for the first time. The display didn’t change when I plugged it in. Is there a trick to it? Yours are the most comprehensive videos I’ve found for this oven. Many thanks.

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Hi, thanks for the feedback. When I plug the probe into my oven after about one second, the screen will register that the probe has been plugged in. If you’re not getting this then potentially you might not be pushing the probe all the way in or I may suggest giving it a slight twist once you plugged it in, you should definitely get a response on the screen when the prob is inserted so if you’re not there must be an issue with either the oven or the probe.

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Alternatively, if you put the probe in and go to one of the cooking options like for the hot air. It should say on the screen temperature and allow you to select by rotating the dial. What internal temperature you want. If it’s not doing that then they’re definitely is something wrong with the probe or the oven, hopefully it’s just the probe. But if you’ve had your oven for awhile and have never used the probe before potentially you could’ve got some sort of dirt inside the hole where the prob plugs into so maybe that’s why there’s a bit of a loose connection.

[@kenexx]

@@everythingandthekitchensink thank you for your replies. I’ll try it again. Just noticed using the assist function I don’t have the option of cake is small or large tin. It’s just cake in a tin. Must be for different markets as I’m on the Gold Coast in Oz. Oh I did get the steam version but haven’t tried that yet either 😳

[@Jay-sd2fz]

Hi, we have the same oven but how can I turn off the convection fan? I found out that this makes cracks on my eclairs even when I chose the Choux Pastry function. After reading a lot of articles, in reddit, and watching a bunch of videos, baking with fans off yields the best results. I hope you can help me out on this one. Thank you in advanced! Cheers

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Hi! I would use top bottom heat, no fan at all. Or you might want to preheat using 4d hot air then turn to top/bottom to actually bake? Just use the top of the oven as it will be the hottest part.

[@Diving-Adventures]

Hello. I wanna buy this one also. Do you still recommand it. How is the display

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Hi!! Yes i recommend it! A very good oven. I wished i had gone for the steam version but oh well. The screen can still act up from time to time which is very annoying. It may be worth looking if Bosch have released an updated version to this oven now, I’m sure I’ve seen one with a totally new design and touch screen.

[@Diving-Adventures]

@@everythingandthekitchensink you mean the new version thats total black ? i wanna go for the oven with the microwave option by the way.

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Yes the black one with screen. The combi oven is the microwave version?

[@WinstonSmithGPT]

How did it turn out when you cut it?

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

I’ve made it so many times it was perfect lol

[@roximol9829]

how to set the cooking time?

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

She you have started a programme, just click on the timer button in the top most right hand corner and dial in the time

[@carolharkness5023]

l was disappointed you didnt cut into the cake to show the inside. also you dont show the look of the oven, only the dials A couple of points if l may 1) l always test a cake towards the end of the baking to see if its ready. lf as you say the oven programme will cut out if the door is open during the programme.., well thats not good. 2) , l wouldnt like to not know which programme it is using...ie fan or convention. l am a retired Patissier , so l feel qualified to make these points

[@everythingandthekitchensink]

Hi! It was baked perfect, I have used it before for the same cake so in new it would be ok. Sorry didn’t cut into it, it was for an event so I could not test it. The sensor works by detecting the moisture and steam realising from the item as it cooks, if you open the door it messes up the moisture inside the oven and it no longer knows how it’s baking. You have the trust the oven when using the baking sensor… however, when it finishes it does give you the option to cook longer after you have opened the door and tested it yourself, but it’s just 10ins longer, not using the sensor at that point. Regarding which programme. Again, you just have to trust the ovens. The assist programmes are for novice cooks not professionals, who mean it to do it for them without caring how it does its. You would just use the normal oven programmes and not assist.
