Bake
When using the
BAKE
mode to cook baked goods such as cakes, cookies, pizzas, pies,
breads, etc., reduce the oven temperature 25°F from the recipe to prevent over browning
on the top of baked goods.
Example:
A recipe states to bake brownies for 25–30 minutes at 400°F.
400°F - 25°F = 375°F
The new bake temperature in
BAKE
mode will be
375°F
.
Fast Bake
When using the
FAST BAKE
mode, reduce the recipe cook time by 25%.
Example:
A recipe states to cook a roast for 60 minutes at 400°F.
60 minutes x 0.25 = 15 minutes saved.
The new cook time in
FAST BAKE
mode will be:
60 minutes - 15 minutes =
45 minutes
.
