RECOMMENDATIONS
•Use tested recipes from reliable sources.
•Preheat the oven only when necessary.
For baked foods that rise and for richer
browning, a preheated oven is better.
Casseroles can be started in a cold oven.
Preheating takes from 8 to 13 minutes;
place food in oven after Oven Indicator
Light cycles off.
•Arrange oven racks before turning on
oven. Follow suggested rack positions
listed in the chart below.
•Allow about 2 inches of space between
the oven side walls and pans to allow
proper air circulation.
•When baking foods in more than one pan,
place them on opposite corners of the
rack. Stagger pans when baking on two
racks so that one pan does not shield
another unless shielding is intended. (See
diagram.)
•To conserve energy, avoid frequent or
prolonged door openings. At the end of
cooking, turn oven OFF before removing
food.
•Always test for doneness (fingertip, tooth-
pick, sides pulling away from pan). Do not
