Baking Tips
• Set the oven controls and, if necessary, preheat
the oven for 10 minutes before placing pans in
the oven. Avoid opening the oven door during
baking. Heat is lost and could cause poor baking
results. Use the Bake View Window to conserve
energy.
• Use the Minute Minder to time cooking functions.
(See page 17 for recommended baking times.)
• Wait until the shortest recommended baking time
is over before checking food.
• When baking two sheets of cookies at the same
time, each sheet should be removed when the
desired degree of doneness is reached, which
may be at separate times.
Pan Placement
• If possible, use only one rack during baking if
the pan covers most of the rack, such as a large
cookie sheet.
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two
racks and several pans are used. No pan should
be directly above another.
• Allow 1-1/2 to 2 inches of air space around all
sides of each pan for even air circulation.
• When using a large roasting pan or cookie sheet,
turn the pan so that the long side is parallel to
the oven door for the best heat distribution and
air flow.
Bakeware Tips
• Use the recommended pan size given in recipes
to insure good results. Old or darkened pans are
not desirable.
• Tin coated, stainless steel, warped or dented pans
do not heat evenly and will cause uneven baking.
• Bake cakes, cookies, quick breads and muffins in
shiny pans for a tender, golden crust.
• Reduce oven temperature by 25°F when using
glass pans, except when baking pies or yeast
breads.
• Cookies, biscuits and cream puffs bake best on
medium weight aluminum sheets with no sides
or very low sides.
