Test Kitchen tips for slice recipes
The Australian Women’s Weekly Test Kitchen has made its fair share of slice recipes. So here are our top tips to keep in mind:
- If your slices aren’t baking as quickly as you want, consider using an aluminium tray. Pans made from tin and stainless steel don’t conduct heat as easily.
- Preheating the oven is important for baked slices as most require less than 30 minutes of baking. So, preheat for around 10 minutes before placing the slice in the oven.
- Make sure slices are cool or at room temperature before adding any icing, which could be absorbed if the slice is hot.
- If a slice recipe recommends a particular size of tray, aim to get as close to that as possible. Otherwise, you could end up with a slice that bubbles over (in a smaller tray) or one that’s very thin (in a bigger tray).
How to store a slice
Most slices will keep for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. But do refrigerate those containing dairy products.
Can a slice be frozen?
Most slices can be frozen for up to two months, but those with icings and cream fillings may crack and change in appearance as they thaw.
