OVEN USE

roasting, use the bottom of the broil pan and elevate the meat on a metal roasting rack. Glass-ceramic or glass utensils do not conduct heat as well as metal, but they can be used. Use them for foods that do not require a dark brown crust or crisping, such as soufflés.

Baked items cook more quickly and evenly if they are individually smaller in size, i.e. two or three small foods do better than one large piece. When single food items are baked, always center the food on the rack. If several foods are being baked, space them evenly on the rack or racks.

Racks Positions

One to four racks can be used simultaneously during convection baking. Place the rack(s) in the desired position before turning the oven on. Store the unused racks out of the oven.

Rack position 2 (second from bottom) will probably be used the most for single rack convection baking.

When baking on more than one rack you do not need to stagger the pans. Allow at least 1” of space between the oven walls and the pans so the heated air can circulate. Pans should be placed in center of oven, stacked above each rack.

Regular Bake

Bake is baking with hot air; there is no fan. The air movement comes from natural convection - as the air heats, it moves to the top of the oven. This oven mode is the same as you have been using for baking on one or two racks.

Foods Suitable for Bake

Appetizers

Pies, Cakes

Breads

Desserts

Main Dishes

Oven Meals (1 to 2 racks)

Poultry

Roasts

CAUTION:

Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven bottom. The trapped heat can damage the porcelain and the heated air cannot adequately reach the food being baked.

Rack Positions

One or two racks can be used simultaneously during bake. Place the rack(s) in the desired position before turning the oven on. Store any unused racks out of the oven.

Rack position 2 (second from bottom) will probably be used the most for single rack baking.
