| Ice fire brain flower | Crispy on the outside and warm on the inside | Not recommended for families to try |
5. Advice from professional chefs
1. Bake in stages: first bake at 150℃ for 8 minutes to set the shape, then adjust to 180℃ for coloring
2. "Listen to the sound to identify ripeness" technique: when mature, it will make a subtle "sizzling" sound
3. The principle of resting: let it stand for 2 minutes after taking it out of the oven. The residual temperature can make the center fully mature.

It is recommended that first-timers use a thermometer to assist and then rely on their senses to judge after gaining experience.
