Using and Caring for Your Oven

Bakeware tips

•When baking with insulated cookie sheets or baking pans, place them in the bottom third of the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven.

•When using ovenproof glassware or dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera- ture by 25°F, but use the same baking time. Because these pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in the center of the oven. When baking pies and bread, you can use the temperature suggested in the recipe.

Rack placement for specific foods:

(For rack positions, see “Rack positions” on page 39.)

 

RACK

FOOD

POSITION

 

 

Frozen pies

2

Angel food and bundt

 

cakes, most quick

1 or 2

breads, yeast breads,

 

casseroles, meats

 

 

 

Cookies, biscuits,

2 or 3

muffins, cakes,

 

nonfrozen pies

 

Using aluminum foil in the oven

(For thermal baking)

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles.

•Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn foil edges up and

make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all around than the dish holding the food.

•Do not cover the entire rack with alumi- num foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking results.

•Do not line oven bottom or entire oven rack with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of your baking.

Convection baking tips

(convection bake pad)

•Do not use aluminum foil when convection baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.

•Reduce recommended recipe oven temperature by approximately 25°F. See recipe adaption chart in your convection oven cookbook for recommended temperatures.

•For most recipes, you can reduce con- vection baking time compared to standard baking times. See convection baking chart in your convection oven cookbook for recommended baking times.

NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when you use more than one rack.

•When baking on two or three racks, use the Convection Bake setting for more even results. (You can, however, use only one rack when Convection Baking.)

•To use three racks during convection baking, place racks in position 5 (the highest position), 3, and 1 (the closest to the oven bottom). This allows all three racks to be an equal distance apart for better baking.

•Stagger cake pans or other cookware in opposite directions on each rack when three racks are used.
