Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat tile oven if tile recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary tot good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastx T and
breads.
Topreheat,set the ovenat the correcttemperature.
Thecontrol will beep when the ovenis preheated
and the &splay will show yourset temperature.
This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in tile oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place tile pans six each has at least 1"
to 1½" of air space aro/md it.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminmn toil to line tile
broiler pan and brixiler grid. Howevex;
you must mold tile foil tightly to tile grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without tile slits, the flfil will prevent flit
and meat juices fl'om draining intI) tile
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut tile slits, you are essentially
fl'_ing, not broiling.
Donot use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven,
Never entirely cover a rack with
almninum fi)il. This will distuO) tile heat
drculation and result in poor baldng.
A smaller sheet el fifil may be used to
catch a spillover by pladng it on a lower
rack several inches below tile food.
