Operating the Oven

Understanding the Various Oven Modes

The three basic styles of cooking in an oven are:

BAKING - The gentle cooking of dry goods such as cookies, cakes, soufflés, etc.

ROASTING - The cooking of meats or vegetables over a period of time.

BROILING - Cooking with an intense heat for a short amount of time.

BAKE

Uses only a heat source from below the food. This mode is the stand-by, non-convection mode. All baked items will turn out nicely in this mode.

Baking Tips

•Follow your recipe’s original cooking time and temperature.

•Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. Look through the oven door window to check the progress of baking whenever possible.

•Use the timers to determine baking time.

•Use the lowest rack position.

•Wait until the shortest recommended baking time before checking the food. For most baked goods, a wooden toothpick placed in the center should come clean when the food is done.
