Baking Tips
For best bake results:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that
the food is in the center of the oven.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (See
Figure 22
).
•
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
as shown in
Figure 23
. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between cookware for proper air circulation.
•
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
•
For batter and dough-based baked goods such as
cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection
function for best results.
•
Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
the cooking time necessary for best results.
Once the oven has reached the set temperature the oven
will cycle on and off to maintain a consistent set tempera-
ture. During preheat and when oven is heating to
maintain the set temperature, the bake element indicator
will appear in the oven icon (on some models) or the bake
element indicator light will be lit (on some models).
Pressing off at any time will stop the feature.
