Baking Tips
Follow the recipe or convection food directions for
baking temperature, time, and rack position. Baking
time and temperature will vary depending on the
ingredients, size, and shape of the baking pan used.
• For best results, food should be placed on a single
rack with at least 1" to 1 1/2" of air space between
the pans and oven walls.
• Check for doneness at the minimum time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick
finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other
bakeware recommended for oven use.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook
faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will
slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
NOTE
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie
sheet on the rack below the rack you are cooking
on.
This is particularly important when baking a
fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content.
Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly
acidic may cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain-enamel surface and should be wiped up
immediately.
