To turn out a cake, jelly, ice-cream etc from a tin or mould. This can be a delicate operation needing a little gentle help. Aspics and jellies: plunge the base of the mould in hot water for a few seconds. Sponge cakes: line tin with greaseproof paper or grease and dust it with flour; turn out immediately after removing from oven. If the cake seems stuck in the tin, turn it over on to a plate and cover base with a damp cloth or place it immediately on a cold surface. Ices: dip mould briefly into cold water and then into lukewarm water. Loosen ice with knife blade, place plate on top of mould and turn over quickly.
