Oven Baking

For best cooking results, preheat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies, pastries, etc. There is no need to 
preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product 
may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.
