Maytag Combination Oven Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Bakeware Guidelines, Baking Time Guidelines

Cookies

•Shiny, flat cookie sheets should be used. Avoid cookie pans with high sides—this will cause uneven browning on the top.

•Cookie sheet should not touch the sides of the oven or door.

Cakes

•Determine pan size from recipe directions. Shiny pans work best for cakes.

•Cake baked in too large a pan will be thin and dry. Too small a pan results in undercooked or unevenly cooked cake and batter may spill.

Pies

•Pies should be baked in dark or dull pans to increase browning.

•Frozen pies should be heated on an aluminum cookie sheet.

Preheating

In most cases, you should preheat the oven before baking. For delicate bak-

ing (such as puff pastries or souffles), preheat approximately 15–20 min- utes before placing food inside oven or wait 10 minutes after oven signal

beeps before placing food in oven.The extra time creates a more stable oven temperature.
