Baking Problems
For best cooking results pre-heat the oven when baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies
or pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meats or baking
casseroles. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary
slightly from your previous appliance.
