Quick bake (some models)
Benefits of the quick bake feature
—Foods cook more evenly
—Multiple rack baking
—No special pans or bakeware needed
Quick bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also provides better baking performance when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with quick bake are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with quick bake.
Suggestions for quick bake
Whenbaking
•For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
•Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
•When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
When roasting
•Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using quick bake.
•Reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
NOTES
•When using quick bake cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
•Layer cakes will have better results using the bake feature.
•If the oven door is opened when quick bake is active, the fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
