Multi-Rack Baking
Figure 24: Baking with multiple levels & racks
If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking,
then Convection baking is preferred.
•
For best results when baking cakes or cookies
using two oven racks, place racks in positions
1 and 3
(Figure
22) and place pans as shown in
Figure
24.
•
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation.
IMPORTANT
When baking using two oven racks, the pans on
each rack must be swapped half way through the
cook time for best results. The top rack should go
on the bottom rack and the bottom to the top.

General Baking Tips
•
When using convection, use bakeware with low
sides. This allows the air to circulate around the
food evenly.
•
Because most food items will cook faster and
more evenly with the convection feature, it is
advisable to reduce recipe's recommended
temperature by 25° for best results. Follow the
recipe's instructions using the minimum recom-
mended cook time.
•
When using Conv Bake, cook time reductions
may vary depending on the amount and type of
food being cooked.
•
Fully preheat the oven for 8-10 minutes before
baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads.
•
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning
of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time to prevent over
browning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recom- mend-
ed for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
•
Do not open the oven door too often. Open-
ing the door will reduce the temperature in the
oven.
•
Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May
require reducing oven temperature
