Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking baked
products.
Allow 10 - 15 minutes preheat time.
.
Avoid opening the door too often to check the food
during baking as heat will be lost. This may result in poor
baking results.
.
Cakes, cookies, muffins, 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.
.
Oven temperatures
should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures if you use dark pans
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 insula-
tion.
.
Do not cover the oven bottom or an entire oven rack with
foil. The foil can block normal heat flow, cause cooking
failures, and damage the oven interior.
.
Most baking should be done on the second shelf position
from the bottom. When baking several items, use two
shelves placed on the second and fourth rack positions
fromthebottomoftheoven.
