When I bake cakes with the Halogen Cooking Pot, the fan is too strong, making the surface of the cake uneven. How can I solve the problem?
Reverse the High Rack and put the cake inside. Put the Baking Plate on top of the legs of the Rack in order to block out the wind. However, the temperature should be adjusted to a higher level. The cooking time has to be extended as well.

Recipe
Can I bake a cake weighing 1lb or above with the Halogen Cooking Pot?
The 7L Halogen Pot is not suitable for baking a cake weighing 1 lb or above, even if the Extension Ring is used. The diameter of Glass Container is too short, which limits the size of cake. Heat will not be able to go through the centre if the cake is too tall. We suggest using the Casserole Pot (optional accessory) to bake the cake with the 7L Halogen Pot in order to ensure a better circulation of heat, but the cake will still be less than 1 lb.

Technical
What is the operation principle of Halogen Cooking Pot? Does it release radiation?
The Halogen Cooking Pot generates waves of infrared light in order to heat up the air inside the heating chamber. The fan then circulates the heated air throughout the chamber to evenly cook the contents inside the container through convective heat transfer, or convection. Food can be cooked within a very short time. The Halogen Cooking Pot does NOT release radiation, so it is safer than microwave oven.
