U sing and Caring for Your Oven
Using aluminum foil in the oven
(For baking)
NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil
or other liners. It could affect the oven
surface as well as the quality of your baking.
Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
give you poor cooking results.
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers
from pies or casseroles by placing foil on
the oven rack below. Foil should be turned
up at edges and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm)
larger than dish.
Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat
or poultry to slow down surface browning
for long term roasting. Remove foil for the
last 30 minutes.
Use narrow strips of foil to shield
piecrust edges if browning too quickly.
Convection baking tips
(CONVECTION BAKE pad)
Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
Reduce recommended recipe oven
temperature by approximately 25°F (14°C).
See recipe adaption chart in your convec-
tion oven cookbook for recommended
temperatures.
For most recipes, you can reduce con-
vection baking time compared to standard
baking times. See convection baking chart
in your convection oven cookbook for
recommended baking times.
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.
When baking on two or three racks, use
the convection bake setting for more even
results. (You can, however, use only one
rack when convection baking.)
To use three racks during convection
baking, place racks in position 5 (the
highest position), 3 and 1 (the closest to
the oven bottom). This allows all three
racks to be an equal distance apart for
better baking.
Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used.
Roasting tips
Roast meats fat-side up in a shallow pan
using a roasting rack.
Use a roasting pan that fits the size of
the food to be roasted. Meat juices may
overflow the sides of a pan that is too
small. Too large of a pan will result in
increased oven spatter.
Spatter can be reduced by lining the
bottom of the roasting pan with lightly
crushed aluminum foil.
