SETTING QUICK BAKE
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best culinary
results when baking with multiple pans and racks. Multiple
rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods
but the overall result is time saved. Some food may cook
faster and more evenly with Quick Bake. Quick baking uses
the two elements and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven. The oven can be
programmed for quick baking at any temperature between
300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 350°F.
Quick Baking tips:
•
Always preheat your oven before using the Quick Bake
mode.
•
During preheat, the 2 elements and the fan are used in
cycle to quickly heat the oven.
•
Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and
type of food to be cooked.
•
When using Quick Bake with a single rack, place oven
rack in position 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks,
place the oven racks in positions 1 and 3.
•
Most bakeries (except cakes) should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to
circulate around the food.
•
Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
