Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if' the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessm T tot good results
when baking cakes, cookies, past_ T and
breads.
Topreheat,set the ovenat the correct temperature.
Thecontrol will beep when the ovenis preheated
and the &splay will show yourset temperature.
Thisw#l take approximately6-10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1 to 1½" of air space around it. If baking
tour cake layers at the same time, place
two laye_ on rack B and two lave_ on
rack D. Stagger the pans on the rack so
one is not directly above the other:
Cut stirs f17 the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum flfil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;
wm must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the g6d.
Without the slits, the toil will prevent lilt
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut the slits, you are essenfiallv
flTing, not broiling.
Do not use aluminum foi/ on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum fifil. This Mll disturb the heat
drculafion and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of toil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the toed.
