OVEN COOKIHG
,
When cooking a food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and Is more apt to be accurate than the oven it
replaced.
After you have used you oven for awhile, if you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
it yourself.
See THERMOSTAT
ADJUSTMENTS
in
this manual.
,
Always follow recipe carefully.
•
Measure Ingredients properly°
,
Use proper pan placement.
•
Place pans on the oven racks with 1" - 1 1/2" of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
,
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom, block the free movement of air.
im-
proper air movement causes uneven browning and
cooking.
element° Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, it
should not be used.
•
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets with-
out sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
•
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time, the
preheat temperature will be lost.
.
Use residual heat in oven whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Use residual
heat when baking rolls or precooked desserts.

during baking as heat will be iosL This may cause
poor baking results.
•
Cakes, cookies, muftlns, and quick breads should be
baked in shiny pans--to
reflect the heat-
because
they should have a light golden crust. Yeast breads
and pie crusts should be baked in glass or dull (non-
shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat _ because they
should have a brown, crisp crust.
.
Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny too. Dark-
ened undersides will absorb the heat and may cause
over browning on the bottom of your food.
•
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures if exterior of pan
ts predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof glass.
•
There may be some odor when the oven is first used.
This is caused by the heating of new parts and
insulation.
