Baking Guidelines

When baking with a new oven, keep in mind temperatures vary from oven to oven. Store-bought thermometers are generally not accurate and should not be used to calibrate oven temperatures.

Hints for Cookies,

•Shiny, flat cookie sheets should be used. Avoid cookie pans with high sides - this will cause uneven browning on the top.

•Cookie sheet should not touch the sides of the oven or door.

Cakes,

•Follow recipe’s directions for pan size. Shiny pans work best for cakes.

•Cake baked in too large a pan will be thin and dry. Too small a pan will be undercooked or unevenly cooked and may spill.

Pies

•Pies should be baked in dark or dull pans to increase browning.

•Frozen pies should be heated on an aluminum cookie sheet.

Bake Pan Placement

Dark or dull pans

Shiny pans (no sides)

Shiny pans (sides)

Glass pans

Absorb more heat and result in darker browning. Recommended for pies and breads.

Recommended for cookies.

Recommended for cakes

Lower recommended oven temperature by 25°F.

• Keep pans and baking sheets 2 inches from oven walls.

• Stagger pans placed on different racks so one is not directly over the other.

Preheating

In most cases, you should preheat the oven before baking. After the range control is set, the oven temperature will begin to rise until the desired cooking temperature is reached (approximately 8 to 10 minutes). When cooking temperature is reached oven signal beeps. For delicate baking (such as puff pastries or souffles), preheat approximately 15–20 minutes before placing food inside oven or wait 10 minutes after oven signal beeps before placing food in oven. The extra time creates a more stable oven temperature.
