Baking tips
•
Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
•
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 or cookies using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 6
(
See
Figure 4
).
•
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature
and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark
bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins
.
•
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two
oven racks, place pans as shown in
Figure 3

for more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be
