Tips for Bake

Preheating the Oven
Most cooking times in recipes are designed for a preheated
oven and require that the oven already be at a certain
temperature before cooking starts. Refer to your recipe for
preheating recommendations
the temperature setting and the number of racks in the
oven.
Getting the Best Results
• Minimize opening the door:
• Use the built-in timer.
• Use the interior oven light.
• Use the rack position recommended by the recipe.
• Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.
• Store the broiler pan(s) 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 pans.
• For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/
anodized or dark, dull metal pans or glass
bakeware. These may require lowering the bake
temperature 25°F (14°C).
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.
Heavy sheets or those with more than one side may
affect the baking time.
• The 36" and 48" (914 and 1219 mm) ovens will hold a
full-sized commercial baking sheet (18" x 26")
(457 x 660 mm).

Preheating time depends on
Bake Rack Positions
• Rack level positions in the oven are numbered like an
elevator. Number one level is the lowest.

Placement
• Allow at least 1" (25.4 mm) of space between the pans
and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each
pan.
• Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above
another. Allow 1½" (38 mm) above and below each
pan.
