Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the
desired locations while the oven is cool,
The correct shelf position depends on the
"kind of food and the browning desired,

Preheating
Preheat the oven if the redpe calls for it.
Preheat means bringing the oven up to the
specified temperature before putting the
food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven
at the correct temperature--selecting a
higher temperature does not shorten
preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good rest_ts
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads. For most casseroles and roasts,
preheating is not necessary. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is
preheated, place the food in the oven
as quickly as possible to prevent heat
from escaping.

Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil This MI1disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking A smaller sheet
: of foil may be used to catch a spitlover by
placing it on a lower shelf several inches
::: below the food,

g_¢OM
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan_ The type of
finish on the pan determines the amount
of browning that will occur.
Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat
resulting in a browner, crisper crust
Use this type for pies,
_ Shiny bright and smooth pans reflect
heat, resulting in a fighter, more delicate
browning. Cakes and cookies require this
tj[pe of pan,
[i_;Glass b"akingdishes also absorb heat.
_A_en baking in glass baking dishes, the
temperature may need to be reduced
by25°
i;_If you axe using dark non-stick pans,
you may find that you need to reduce
the oven temperatore 25_F to prevent
over-bro_qling
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper brov,_ng,
there must be enough room for air
circulation in the oven. Baking results will
be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed
to the front or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the
w_lis of the oven. Allow 1- to 1_inch space
between pans as well as from the back of
the oven, the door and the sides If you
need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so
one is not directly above the other.
)i ¸¸¸¸i i TII211
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets
(without sides) produce better-looking
cookies. Cookies balCed in ajelly roll pan
(short sides all around) may have darker
edges and pale or light brox_naing
may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it
touches the walls or the door of the oven
Never entirely cover a shelf with a large
cookie sheet
For best results during baking, use only
one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.
Pies
For best results, bake pies in daxk., rough
or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper
crust Frozen pies in foil pans should be
placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for
baking since the shiny foil pan reflects
heat away from the pie crust; the cookie
sheet helps retain it.
Cakes
When baking cakes, _ped or bent pans

shaped products. A cake baked in a pan
larger than the recipe recommends _11
usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it
should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked
and batter may overflow Check the recipe
to make sure the pan size used is the one
recommended.
Peeking
Set the timer for the estimated cooking
time and do not open the door to look at
your food., Most recipes provide minimum
and maximum baking times such as "bake
3040 minutes."
DONOTopen the door to check until the
minimum time. Opening the oven door
frequently during cooking allows heat to
escape and makes baking times longer.
Your baldng results may also be affected.

Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced° Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with iL If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven°
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees,
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or self-cleaning temperatures Theadjustment will be retained in

Thetypeof margarine will affect bakingperformance! i i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii uii i
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high4at products such as butter or margarine (80% fat)_If you
decrease the fa_ the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product
Recipe failure can result ff cakes, pies, pastries; cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads, Thelower the fat
content of a spread produc_ the more noticeable these differences become_
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight, Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Roasting is cooking by dry heal Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures,
which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum,

for meats. Therefore, the oven controls are
set for Baking or Timed Baldng, (You may
hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the

Most meats continue to cook slightly after
being removed from the oven The internal
temperature ,_I1 rise about 5° to t0°F
during the recommended standing 0xne of
10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm
up and makes them easier to carve,
To compensate for this rise in temperature,
you may _ant to remove the roast sooner
(at 5° to 10°F less than the temperature in
the Roasting Glfide).
