resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time
to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.
The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish to
continuously bake, see Changing between continuous
bake setting or 12-Hour Energy Saving feature for
