TIPS FOR BAKE

Preheating The Oven

Many foods such as meat, poultry, casseroles, or other long cooking foods cook well without preheating the oven. See your recipe for pre- heating recommendation. Preheat- ing is achieved in 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the temperature set- ting.

Getting the Best Results

▲ Minimize opening the door:

•

Use a minute timer.

•

Use the interior oven lights.

▲ Choose the right size utensil:

use the utensil recommended

in the recipe.

▲ Store the broiler pans outside

the ovens. An extra pan with-

out food, affects the browning

and cooking.

▲ The type of pan used affects the

RACK POSITIONS

One or two racks of food can be cooked in the oven at the same time. Place racks in the oven before turning it on. Position #2 is the most commonly used for single rack cooking. See below for recommended rack positions.

PRG304, PRG36 and PRG48 (large main oven)

#3 Use this rack in combina-

tion

with rack #1 for double

 

rack baking.

 

#2 Use this rack when baking

single pan foods, such as

cakes, breads, pies, des-

1

serts, casseroles, cookies,

 

or a single rack oven meal.

 

#1 Use this rack for air leav- ened cakes (Angel Food),

a large roast, turkey or other large food item.

If you are using racks #1 and #3, be sure to check for doneness sooner than the minimum time. The food on the lower rack position may cook slightly faster than the food on the upper position. If using one rack with a large commercial baking pan , the food may take a few extra minutes as the air cannot circulate as freely as it does with a smaller pan.

browning:

• For tender, golden brown

crusts, use light non-stick/

anodized or shiny metal

utensils.

• For brown crisp crusts, use

dark non-stick/anodized or

dark, dull metal utensils or

glass bakeware. These may

require lowering the bake

PRG48 (secondary oven)

#3 Use this rack when broiling. #2 Use this rack for baking single

food items, such as cake, bread, pie, dessert, casserole, cookies, etc.

#1 Use this rack for Angel Food cake or a large roast or chicken, etc.

▲The bake burner flame lights in 60 to 90 seconds.

▲The flame cycles of when the selected temperature is reached, then cycles on again to maintain selected temperature.

▲Allow at least 1" of space be- tween the pans and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.

▲Stagger baking utensils so that one is not directly above an- other. Allow 1-1/2 inches above and below each pan.
