Baking Pans

Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans:

 

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F

 

when baking in glass.

 

• Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate browning.

 

• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust.

 

Some manufacturers recommend reducing temperature 25° F when using

 

these pans. Follow manufacturer recommendations.

 

• Use glass or dark metal pans for pies.

 

• Insulated baking pans may increase the recommended baking time.

Preheating the Oven

Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. Preheating is necessary for good

 

results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Setting a higher tempera-

 

ture does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before

 

preheating. A beep will confirm that oven is preheated and selected oven temper-

 

ature will be displayed.

 

Note: Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the probe (some

 

models). A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect the probe to the

 

receptacle and to insert it into the meat.

The Probe (some models)

• The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will continue to cook the meat

 

after the oven has shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from the oven as

 

soon as the control beeps.

 

• Since meat continues to cook after being removed from the oven, set the

 

internal (probe) temperature 5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal

 

temperature (exception: poultry). Allow standing time (10 -20 minutes) before

 

carving the meat.

 

• Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and removing. Use a

 

potholder to remove since the probe becomes hot.

 

• Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being used.

 

• The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For best results, completely

 

thaw meats before using the probe.

 

Inserting the Probe

 

• For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part and do not touch bone,

 

fat, or gristle.

 

• For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the probe in the thickest part of

 

the inner thigh.

 

• For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip should be located in the

 

center of the thickest part of the food.
