BAKING

(continued)

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.

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 2 to 4 cm (1 to 11⁄2″) space between pans

as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the

sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans

so one is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions

for best baking results.

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

centimeters below the food.

Do not put aluminum foil on the oven bottom.
