Oven Baking
"Baking" means to cook foods such as cakes or casseroles by dry heat in a covered or uncovered pan. Roasting, often confused
with baking, means to cook meat in an uncovered pan. To Bake or Roast, follow the instructions in the
Setting Oven Controls
section.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper
air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the
pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
