solutions to Common Baking Problems

• Some recipes, especially those that are homemade,
may require adjustment and testing when convert-
ing from standard baking to convection baking. If you
are unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by prepar-
ing the recipe using the standard bake settings. After
achieving acceptable results, follow the convection
guidelines below. If the food is not cooked to your
satisfaction during this first convection trial, adjust
one recipe variable at a time (such as cooking time,
rack position or temperature) and repeat the convec-
tion test. If necessary, continue adjusting one recipe
variable at a time until you get satisfactory results.
• As a general rule, to convert conventional standard
bake recipes to convection recipes, reduce the tem-
perature by 25˚F and the cook time by approximately
10%.

Baking Tips

• Do not open the oven door frequently during baking.
Look through the oven door window to check the
progress of baking whenever possible.
• use the oven timers to determine baking time.
• Wait until the shortest recommended baking time
before checking food. For most baked goods, a
wooden pick placed in the center should come clean
when the food is done.

cooking time and check food when

check food.
