Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature— selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.

Oven

Cookies

When baking

cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all

around) may have darker edges and

pale or light browning may occur.

Cookies can be baked on several shelves at the same time but browning may be uneven because of reduced air circulation.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.

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.

Do not put aluminum foil on the oven bottom.
