General Baking Recommendations - Jenn-Air SVD48600 Use And Care Manual

• When cookingfoods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cookingtimes
and temperatures as a guide.
• Use tested recipes from reliable sources.
• Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and for richer
browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be started in a cold oven.
Preheatingtakes from 7 to 11 mfnutes; place food in oven after PREHEAT Indicator
Word cycles off.
• Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow suggested rack positions on
pages 25 and 31.
• Allowabout 1 to 1Y_ inches of space between the ovenside walls and pans to alJow
proper air circulation.
• When baking foods in more than one pan, place them on opposite corners of the
rack. Stagger pans when baking on two racks so that one pan does not shield
another unless shielding is intended. (See above left,)
• To conserve energy, avoid frequent or prolonged door openings. At the end of
cooking, turn oven off before removing food.
• Always test for doneness (fingertip,toothpick, sides pulling away from pan). Do not
rely on time or brownness as only indicators.
• Use good quality baking pans and the size recommended in the recipe.
• Dull,dark, enameledor glass panswill generallyproduce a brown, crisp crust. Shiny
metal pans produce a light, golden crust.
• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheet on rack 2
or be removed to a dull or g_asspan.
• If edge of pie crustbrowns too quickly, fold a strip of foil around rim of crust, covering
edge. (See above right.)
