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). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not
give the same results as with a higher
fat product.
Recipefailurecan result if cakes,pies,
pastries,cookiesor candiesare made with
low fat spreads. The lower the fat content
of a spread product, the more noticeable
these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water Thehigh
moisture content of these spreadsaffects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best resultswith gour old favorite recipes,
use margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheatthe oven if the recipe calls for it.
Topreheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating isnecessary for
good resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,
pastry and breads.
Forovens without a preheat indicator light or
tone, preheat 10 minutes.
On some models,thedisplay will show "PRE"
while preheating. When the oven reaches the
selectedtemperature, the oven control will
beep and the display will show the oven
temperature.
Baking resultswill be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible.Pansshould not touch each other
or the walls of the oven.If you need to use
two shelves,stagger the pans so one is
not directly above the other, and leave
approximately lY/' from the front of the
pan to the front ofthe shelf.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirelg cover a shelfwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil mag be used to
catch a spillover bg placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
Leave the door open to the broil stop
position. The door stags open by
itself,get the proper temperature is
maintained in the oven.
