BAKE, PROOF (HGS25 models) and
WARM
Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. The lower burner cycles
to maintain the oven temperature:
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastries to casseroles. It can also be used to roast
meats.
In the Warming mode, the oven uses the lower element to
maintain a low temperature to keep food at serving temperature.
Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot
•
until ready to serve.
The Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220° F. The
•
default temperature is 170° F.
Foods that need to be kept moist should be covered with
•
a lid or aluminum foil.
In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the lower burner to
maintain a low temperature to proof bread. Proofing is the
rising of a yeast dough.
The Proofing mode temeratures are 85° to 110° F. The
•
default temperature is 100° F.
Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that
•
accomodates the size of the container.
Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check
•
the rising of the dough.
*The convection bake temperature is 25°F less than
recommended on packages or recipes. The temperature in
this chart has been reduced 25°F.
**This chart is a guide. Actual times depend on the mixes or
recipes baked. Follow recipe or package directions and reduce
temperature appropriately.
Oven Modes - Bake and Convection Bake
CONVECTION BAKE
Convection Baking is similar to Baking. In this case, heat
comes from the lower element. The main difference in convection
baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the
convection fan:
The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for baking large
quantities of food on multiple racks. It can be used to prepare
cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and
appetizers among other items.
The benefits of Convection Baking include:
Slight decrease in cooking time
•
Three rack cooking (more even browning)
•
Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)
•
Cook more items at once
•
For Best Results:
Reduce recipe temperature by 25°
•
Convection Baking chart for examples.
Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie
•
sheets without sides.
Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack.
