Bake

When using the BAKE mode to cook baked goods such as cakes, cookies, pizzas, pies, breads, etc., reduce the oven temperature 25°F from the recipe to prevent over browning on the top of baked goods.

Example: A recipe states to bake brownies for 25–30 minutes at 400°F. 400°F - 25°F = 375°F

The new bake temperature in BAKE mode will be 375°F.

Fast Bake

When using the FAST BAKE mode, reduce the recipe cook time by 25%.

Example: A recipe states to cook a roast for 60 minutes at 400°F. 60 minutes x 0.25 = 15 minutes saved.

The new cook time in FAST BAKE mode will be:

60 minutes - 15 minutes = 45 minutes.
