For best bake results:
•
For batter and dough based baked goods such as
cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection
function for best results.
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that
the food is in the center of the oven.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4
•
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
as shown in
Figure
26.
•
Allow at least 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) space between
cookware for proper air circulation. Set one position
lower if using offset racks.
•
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
•
Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase cook
time.
