Bake
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to
casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking
time.
Tips • Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal
pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bake-
ware will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1-1

" space between
pans or dishes and oven walls.
• Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check
food for doneness instead of opening the door.
• If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks. For cakes use rack
positions 3 and 5, for cookies use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger pans so that
one is not directly above the other (see graphic below). See "Pan Placement"
under "General Tips" for more info. You may also consider using a convection
mode.

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower el-
