Baking Tips

Wall Oven

Pan placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 11⁄2″ space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.

If you need to use two shelves, use shelf positions A and C and stagger the pans so that one is not directly above the other.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time. Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes, or until the PREHEAT light goes off.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Preheat for 15 minutes.

The PREHEAT light will come on and stay on until the oven temperature reaches the pre-set temperature. When the light goes off, foods with recipes requiring a preheated oven should be placed in the oven. This light will CYCLE on and off during the remainder of the cooking process.

Aluminum foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
