Using and Caring for Your Oven

Bakeware tips

•When baking with insulated cookie sheets or baking pans, place them in the bottom third of the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven.

•When using ovenproof glassware or dark bakeware, reduce the oven tem- perature by 25°F, but use the same baking time. Because these pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in the center of the oven. When baking pies and bread, you can use the temperature suggested in the recipe.

Rack placement for specific foods:

Using aluminum foil in the oven

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles.

•Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn foil edges up and make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all around than the dish holding the food.

•Do not cover the entire rack with alumi- num foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking results.

•Do not line oven bottom or entire oven rack with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of your baking.
