KitchenAid KESC300 Use And Care Manual page 29

For proper cooking, follow these
guidelines:
•
When using 1 rack, place the rack so the
top of the food will be centered in the oven.
•
When using 2 racks, place one rack in
position 1 and the other rack in position 3.
•
Use only 1 cookie sheet in the oven at
a time when using the Bake setting.
Bakeware tips
• When baking with insulated cookie
sheets or baking pans, place them in the
bottom third of the oven. You may need to
increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing
from the oven.
•
When using ovenproof glassware or
dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-
ture by 25°F (16°C), but use the same
baking time. Because these pans absorb
heat, producing darker bottom browning
and crispier crusts, place the rack in the
center of the oven. When baking pies
and bread, you can use the temperature
suggested in the recipe.
Rack placement for specific foods:

U
sing and
Using aluminum foil in the oven
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from
pies or casseroles.
• Place the foil on the oven rack below the
rack with the food. Turn foil edges up and
make sure foil is about 1 inch (2.5 cm)
larger all around than the dish holding
the food.
•
Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
cause poor cooking results.
•
Do not line oven bottom or entire oven
rack with foil or other liners. It could affect
the quality of your baking.
