TRADITIONAL BAKE:
• Traditional Bake is the standard way to bake and is best when one rack of
food is cooked at a time.
• Any food item can be baked in the traditional manner but some foods can
only be baked in the traditional way for the best results.
• Traditional baking is best for foods that need to be covered and or cooked
for a long time, such as casseroles, and slow cooked roasts in liquid.
• Traditional bake is best for custard pies such as pumpkin, quiches, or nut
pies such as pecan.
• Traditional baking is also best for recipes that call for very high
temperatures, such as meringue toppings.
For best results use a single rack for traditional baking.
• Before turning on the oven, position the oven racks to the desired baking
position for the food being cooked.
•
Most single rack baking of cakes, pies and cookies will be in the center of
the oven. Numbering the rack positions, start from the bottom rack
position which is one, to the top.
•
Most roasting will be at rack position one or two depending on the size
and quantity of food being roasted.
• A cake will usually be baked on rack three or in the center rack position of
the oven.
