Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-4O degrees.
NOTE." This
adjustment
will not affect the
broiling temperature.

Thetype of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards reqllire
l)roducts labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight, Ix)w-tilt spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less tilt and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of 1)aked goods. For best results with umr old til\'ofim recipes, use mmgafine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
