With our experience in baking throughout the years, we have come to realise that baking cheese tarts are not as easy as it seems. We have to constantly check the tarts in the oven to ensure that they do not overbake and get burnt.

Fortunately, with Brandt’s oven, you will never have to worry about having burnt pastries ever again! The oven has been specially built with the technology that allows a uniform temperature to be regulated all around the cavity so the texture is consistent throughout the baked goods. This high technology is called Quattro Pulse Technology. Another merit to this oven is its double glass oven door which blocks out heat very well so this will help with the overall heat in the kitchen!
