• When cookingfoods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cookingtimes
and temperaturesas a guide.
• Use tested recipesfrom reliable sources.
• Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and for richer
browning, a preheated even is better. Casseroles can be started in a cold oven.
Preheating takes from 5 to 9 minutes; place food in oven after OVEN INDICATOR
LIGHT cycles off.
• Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow suggested rack positions on
page 25 and in various baking charts.
• Allow about I to IV=inches of space between the oven side walls and pans to allow
proper air circulation.
• When baking foods in more than one pan, place them on opposite corners of the
rack. Stagger pans when baking on two racks so that one pan does not shield
another unless shielding is intended. (See above)
• To conserve energy, avoid frequent or prolonged doer openings. At the end of
cooking, turn oven off before removing food.
• Always test for doneness (fingertip, toothpick, sides pulling away from pan), Do not
rely on time or brownness as only indicators.
• Use good quality baking pans and the size recommended in the recipe.

metal pans producea light,goldencrust.
• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheet on rack 2
or be removedto a dullor glass pan.
