BAKING TIP
THE TYPE OF MARGARINE WILL AFFECT BAKING PERFORMANCE
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). To decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
It can result in recipe failure if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. It can get best results with your old favorite recipes to use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
PREHEATING AND PAN PLACEMENT
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary when convection baking and for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1” to
If cooking on multiple racks,place the oven racks in positions C and E (For 2 racks) Place the cookware as shown in Fig. 1, 2.
