SECTION FIVE: USING THE OVEN

Convection Bake

TIPS FOR CONVECTION 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. Preheating time depends on the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven.

HIGH ALTITUDE

BAKING

When baking at high altitudes, in either BAKE or CONVECTION• BAKE, recipes and baking times vary. For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the bulletins. Specify the type of information you want (example: cakes, cookies, breads, etc.).

RACK POSITIONS

LARGE MAIN OVEN

One Rack Baking

•When baking on one rack, best results are obtained in the bake mode (see Bake).

•When roasting a turkey or a large piece of meat, convection bake may be used. Rack #2 is the most appropriate rack.

Two Rack Baking

•Racks #2 and #5 are most appropriate when using the convection bake mode. Pans should not be staggered but the baking pan on rack #5 should be placed on rack #2 directly under the one on rack #5.

•This may be used for cakes, cookies, biscuits and other foods for which two rack baking is desirable.

•When several casseroles , frozen pies or cakes are to be baked, use racks #2 and #5.

•These two racks can also be used for a large oven meal.

Three Rack Baking

•When several sheets of cookies are to be baked, bake them on racks #1, #3,and #5. Place the baking sheets directly on top of each other on the respective racks to allow air to flow around the baking sheets.

CONDENSATION

It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

CAUTION

■WHEN USING THE OVEN IN ANY MODE

Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. It can

damage the oven and cause a fire hazard if heat is trapped under it.

BAKEWARE

Type

•Aluminum bakeware gives the best browning results.

•Cookie sheets should have low sides; use aluminum commercial half-sheets or professional cooking utensils.

Placement

•For better browning, utensils such as cookie sheets, jelly roll pans and rectangular baking pans should be placed crosswise on the rack with the shorter sides on the right and the left. This allows the air to circulate freely.

•When baking on more than one rack, pans should not be staggered.
