How To Set Your Range For Baking

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

1.Close the oven door. If your model has a separate BAKE/BROIL switch, turn it to BAKE. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to the desired temperature.

2.Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. When cooking is finished, turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF and remove food.

For best baking results, follow these suggestions:

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting in the food. 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 necess~. 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.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1 X inch space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.
