Attributes
As pans age and become discolored,
cooking times may need to be reduced
slightly.
Air is drier and air pressure is lower.
Water boils at a lower temperature, and
liquids evaporate faster.
Foods may take longer to bake.
Doughs may rise faster.
Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Follow the instructions in
"Setting Oven
When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately
after the beep.
Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking performance.
Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks.
For best performance, see
"Convection
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food,
help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent
grease splatters.
If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com.
Cooking Conditions
If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook
time in the recipe or packaging.
If food is too light or under cooked, use the middle to
maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as
needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.
Increase cook time in oven. Cover dishes to reduce evapo-
ration.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe.
Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise
twice.
