Quick Bake (some models)
Benefits of the Quick Bake feature
— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
— Multiple rack baking.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.
How Quick Bake works
Quick Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results. It also gives better baking results when using two
racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and flavors. Meats cooked with Quick Bake are
juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked
faster and more evenly with Quick Bake.
Suggestions for Quick Bake
When baking
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 1).
When roasting
1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Quick Bake.
2. Since Quick Bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your
recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary,
increase cook time until the desired doneness is
obtained.
3. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will keep
the air from circulating around the food.
