OvenCooking
Always follow recipe carefully.
Measureingredients properly.
Useproper pan placement.
Placepans on the oven racks with 1fi -2“ of
air space on all sides of each pan. Avoid
overcrowding the oven.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls
or to the oven bottom block the free move-
ment of air. Improper air movement causes
uneven browning and cooking.

Let the oven preheat thoroughly before
cooking baked #roducts, Allow IG15 min-
utes preheat time. ~
Avoid opening the door too often to check
the food during baking as heat will be lost,
This may result in poor baking results.
Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads
should be baked in shiny pans —to reflect
the heat —because they should havealight
golden crust. Yeast breads and pie crusts
should be baked in glass or dull (non-shiny
pans) —to absorb the heat —because they
should have abrown, crisp crust.
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25
degrees below recommended temperatures
if you usedark pans or oven proof glass.
There may be some odor when the oven is
first used, This is caused by the heating of
new parts and insulation.
Do not cover the oven bottom or an entire
oven rack with foil, The foil can block nor-
mal heat flow, cause cooking failures, and
damage the oven interior.
