Cooking tips

Baking tips

The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

For best air circulation:

•Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.

•For best results, allow 11⁄2 to 2 inches of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

•When baking with one pan, place pan in the center of the oven rack.

•When baking with two pans, place pans in opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfac- tory baking or roasting results. Rely on your timer.

Rack positions

Your oven has two straight racks (thermal models) or three straight racks (Thermal- Convection™ models), and five rack posi- tions. Rack position 5 is the highest position,

or farthest from the bottom of the oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven.

For proper cooking, follow these guidelines:

•When using one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

•When using two racks, place one rack in position 1 and the other rack in position 3.

•Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time when using the BAKE setting.

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 tempera- ture by 25°F (14°C), 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.
