Oven Cooking Modes

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. The lower Bake, Proof and Warm burner cycles to maintain the oven temperature.

Bake mode can be used to prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as well as to roast meats.

In the Proofing mode, the oven uses the lower burner to maintain a low temperature to proof bread.

Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.

The Proofing mode temperatures are 85° to 110° F. The default temperature is 100° F.

Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.

Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

In Warming mode, the lower burner maintains a low temperature in the oven cav- ity in order to keep food at serving temperature.

Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.

Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220° F. Default temperature is 170°.

Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

CAUTION

When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:

• Do not use the Warm Mode to heat cold food.

Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recom- mends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer.

DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.

Convection baking is similar to baking. Heat

Convection Bake comes from the lower burner and an element behind the backwall. The main difference in con- vection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for baking large quantities of food on multiple racks.

It can be used to prepare cookies, pies, cup-

cakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and appetizers among other items. The ben- efits of Convection Baking include:

Slight decrease in cooking time

Three rack cooking (more even browning)

Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)

Ability to cook more items at once

For Best Results:

Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to Convection Baking chart and Automatic Convection Conversion for more information.

Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.

Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack
