Baking Guide

1.Preheating is very important when using temperatures below 225T. and when baking foods such as biscuits, cookies, cak& and other pastries. After pushing the BAKE button and turning the SET knob to the desired temperature, be sure to wait for the one-second beep before putting food into the oven.

Preheating is not necessary when roasting or for long-time cooking of whole meals.

2.Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most conventional baking, light, shiny ftishes give best results because they help prevent overbrowning. For best browning results, we recommend dull bott~m surfaces for cake pans and pie plates.

3.Dark or non-shiny finishes and glass cookware generally absorb heat, which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce oven heat 25°F. if lighter crusts are desired. Rapid browning of some foods can be achieved by preheating cast-iron cookware.
