Baked goods change as they cool. Our recipes almost always specify "transfer to a rack and let cool for number minutes."
But can you/do you wait that long?

Why do I have to WAIT?????
Because I said so...
Date: 2019-12-12 01:33 am (UTC)I don't generally taste before it's ready for serving because I'm going for the 'correct' presentation.
It probably helps I've been cooking and baking for over 5 decades and
1) the burnt tongue doesn't affect just that bite but the entire day's tasting and
2) if it needs to wait for frosting/glaze/setting then the just baked portion isn't actually the taste I'm hoping for.
And all this means that yes, I do mostly 'wait that long'.
