Tips for Bake

Preheating the Oven

Preheat the oven before baking. The oven does not need to be preheated for large

 

pieces of meat or poultry. See your recipe for preheating recommendation. Preheat-

 

ing time depends on the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven.

Getting the Best Results

• Minimize opening the door:

 

• Use a minute timer.

 

• Use the interior oven light.

 

• Choose the right size bakeware; use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.

 

• Store the broiler pans outside the oven. An extra pan without food, affects the

 

browning and cooking.

 

• The type of pan used affects the browning:

 

• For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non-stick/anodized or shiny metal

 

utensils.

 

• For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/anodized or dark, dull metal uten-

 

sils or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature

 

25°F.

Bakeware Type

• Metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish), heat-proof glass, glass-

 

ceramic, pottery, or other utensils are suitable for the oven.

 

• Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side only. Heavy sheets or those

 

with more than one side may affect the baking time.

Bake Rack Positions

• Rack level positions in the oven are numbered like an elevator. Number one

 

level is the lowest.

One Rack Baking

• The Bake mode is best for baking on one rack with rack level #3 used for most

 

baked items. If the item is tall, such as an angel food cake, rack level #2 may be

 

used. Pies are best baked on rack level #2 to make certain the bottom of the

 

crust is done without over browning the top. When large pieces of meat or poul-

 

try are roasted , such as a prime rib of beef or a turkey, rack level #2 is the pre-

 

ferred rack.
