For best results:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
•
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,
cookies, and muffins.
•
Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4. When baking using two
oven racks, position bakeware as shown
in
Figure 21
.
Allow
at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for
proper air circulation.
•
Layer cakes will have best results when using the Cakes/
Breads function.
