1. When making soufflé, the eggs should be at room temperature. Cold eggs won't make the soufflé rise.
2. When mixing the soufflé batter, be careful not to break the egg whites. Gently fold the egg whites with a spatula from bottom to top.
3. After greasing the soufflé ramekins, refrigerate them. This way, the soufflés will rise better.
4. Before putting the soufflés in the oven, clean the edges of the batter. This will make the soufflés rise more evenly.
5. Don't open the oven door while baking the soufflés. When the oven door is opened, the soufflés stop rising and collapse.
6. Serve the soufflés as soon as you take them out of the oven. The soufflés will deflate and cool down as they wait.
7. When preparing the soufflé batter, sift the flour well. This way, the batter will be smoother and lighter.
8. Before putting the soufflés in the oven, preheat the oven well. The oven temperature will make the soufflés rise.
