Use a reliable recipe and accurately measure fresh
ingredients. Carefully follow directions for oven
temperature and cooking time.
Preheat oven if recommended in the recipe or package
directions. Selecting a temperature higher than the
desired temperature wilt not preheat the oven any faster.
In fact, this may have a negative effect on baking results.
Use the correct rack position. Baking results may be
affected if the wrong rack position is used. For optimum
results, bake foods on one rack. Select a rack position
that locates the food in the center of the oven. If baking on
two racks, select rack positions #2 and 4, #1 and 4 or #2
and 5.
• Top browning may be darker if food islocated
toward the top of the oven.
° Bottom browning may be darker if food is located
toward the bottom of the oven.
When using two racks for baking, allow enough space
between the racks for proper air circulation. Browning
and cooking results will be affected if air flow is
blocked.
Cool(ware material plays an important part in baking
results. Always use the type and size of pan called for in
the recipe. Cooking times or cooking resutts may be
affected if the wrong size is used.
• A shiny metal pan reflects heat away from the food.
This type of pan produces lighter browning and a softer
crust. Use shiny pans for baking cakes or cookies.
A dark, dull, anodized or satin-finish metal pan
absorbs heat and produces darker browning with a
crisper crust. Use dark pans for pies, pie crusts or
bread.
• For optimum baking results, bake cookies and biscuits
on a flat cookie sheet. If the pan has sides, such as a
jelly rotl pan, browning may not be even.
If using heat-proof glassware, or dark pans such as
Baker's Secret or Wilton reduce the oven temperature
by 25°F except when baking pies or bread. Use the
same baking time as called for in the recipe.
Use of aluminum foil: Do not cover the oven bottom or
an entire rack with foil or place foil directly under
cookware. To catch spillovers, place a piece of foil a little
larger than the pan, on the rack below the pan.
Allow hot air to flow freely through the oven for
optimum baking results. Improper placement of pans in
the oven will block air flow and may result in uneven
browning. For optimum browning and even cooking
results:
° Do not crowd a rack with pans. Never place more than
one cookie sheet, one 13x9x2-inch cake pan or two
9-inch round cake pans on one rack.
• Stagger pans when baking on two racks so one pan is
not directly over another pan.
•Ailow one to two inches between the pan and the oven
walls.
Check the cooking progress at the minimum time
recommended in the recipe. If necessary, continue
checking at intervals until the food isdone. Ifthe oven
door is opened too frequently, heat willescape from the
oven; this can affect baking results and wastes energy.
Ifyou add additional ingredients or alter the recipe,
expect cooking times to increase or decrease slightly.
