<h2>What should you consider when baking with the CopperGardenu00ae Aura camping baking pot?</h2> <p>Thank you for your interest in our wonderful AURA baking pot. It is a very sustainably manufactured and durable product that will certainly bring you a lot of enjoyment. However, there are a few things you should know and keep in mind during use.</p> <p>1.) Copper conducts heat better than almost any other material. This is one of the great advantages of copper and also leads to excellent results with the Aura baking pot. At the same time, you should be aware that the pot can become very hot. Please always use pot holders, cotton or felt cloths, silicone, cork, or wooden trivets when handling or placing the pot down.</p> <p><strong>Important to know:</strong> The heat-resistant iron handles retain heat longer than the copper and can remain very hot for quite some time after use.</p> <p>2.) Copper itself is highly heat-resistant, but the pure tin of the non-stick lining can melt at temperatures above 242u00b0C. As long as the pot is filled with dough, casserole, or something reasonably moist, the temperature will usually not rise too high. The contents help regulate the temperature. However, when reheating rolls, for example, large areas of copper may be exposed and can heat up significantly more. We usually recommend heating strongly with a large flame at first and reducing the flame to the lowest setting after no more than two minutes.</p> <p><strong>Pro tip:</strong> A small bowl of hot water placed inside the baking form helps create crispy rolls and can also slightly cool the form as the water evaporates.</p> <p><strong>Important to know:</strong> Tin is completely harmless to health! Even if ingested, the body cannot absorb it and will simply excrete it. If you overheat your Aura, the tin may partially melt and mainly change in color and structure. It melts but quickly settles back onto the copper surface. The changed surface is not a disadvantage, as the excellent non-stick properties of tin remain intact. Copper and tin are very high-quality metals, and once you understand how they work together, you can achieve wonderful results in the kitchen.</p> <p>3.) We always recommend ensuring that the base stand is positioned underneath the Aura. It prevents excessively high temperatures inside and at the bottom, ensures more even heat distribution, and prevents burning inside. Ideally, a gas flame should first heat at full power to create strong top heat, and then be reduced during continuous use so that the flame mainly heats the chimney in the center of the form. This creates a nicely browned surface even on the top.</p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong> Keep the lid closed, because each time you open it, you lose top heat while the bottom temperature remains high. It is best to be patient until the end of the baking time and open the lid only at the very end. After a few uses, you will develop a good sense of the temperature inside and be able to work perfectly with the Aura and bake excellent results.</p> <p>If you wish, you can insert the probe of a digital cooking thermometer into the upper holes to measure the temperature inside (top area).</p> <p>Whatever you bake, we wish you great enjoyment.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
