Bake Tips and Techniques
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and
lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air but
no fan is used to circulate the heat.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for
baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking
time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and
the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.
General Guidelines
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at
least 1" space between utensils and oven walls.
Use a maximum of two racks when selecting the
bake mode. Stagger pans or baking sheets so that
one is not directly above another.
Staggered pans
Check for doneness at the minimum time.
Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick
finish), heatproof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery or
other utensils suitable for the oven.
When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature
by 25°F from recommended temperature.
Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll
pans.
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook
faster with more browning.
Insulated bakeware will
slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at
least 1-1/2” space between utensils and oven walls.
Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum
trays to line any part of the oven. Foil is an excellent
heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it.
This will alter the cooking performance and can
damage the finish of the oven.
Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place
pans.
