Cooking Modes - Bosch HGI8056UC Use And Care Manual

• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
time.
• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as
quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and
reduction of oven temperature.
Preheat Reminders
• Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,
casseroles and some frozen foods.
• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer
preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F
is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not
preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
• Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
• Use the Kitchen Timer to keep track of cooking times.
Baking Pans and Dishes
• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven
temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes.
• Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.
• Use pans that provide the desired browning. For
tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized
or shiny metal bakeware.
• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will
absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing the
temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow
manufacturers' recommendations.
• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the
length of cooking time.
• Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.
• Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven
during cooking as this could change the cooking
performance. Store pans outside the oven.
Opening the Oven Door
• Open and close the appliance door only by holding the
door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any
other parts of the door.
High Altitude Baking
• When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking
times will vary.
• For accurate information, write the Extension Service,
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado
80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify
which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer:
general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
Condensation
• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to
evaporate from the food during any cooking process.
The amount depends on the moisture content of the
food. The moisture may condense on any surface
cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control
panel.

Cooking Modes

Bake
Bake is cooking with dry heated air. Heat comes from the
lower burner and cycles to maintain the oven temperature.
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or
package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips
• When using the Bake mode, preheat the oven if the
recipe recommends it.
• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of
the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings
will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware
will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
