SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Quick Bake
Quick Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly
and continuously around the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results. Meats cooked with Quick Bake are crisp on the
outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods can be
cooked faster and more evenly with Quick Bake.
The oven may be programmed to Quick Bake at any
temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The
factory preset Quick Bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
Benefits of the Quick Bake feature
•
When using Quick Bake (some models) cook time
reductions may vary depending on the amount and type
of food being cooked.
Baking Tips
•
For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
•
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no
sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate
around the food.
•
Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recom-
mended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the
recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended
cook time.
•
When using 2 oven racks place racks in positions 3 and
5 for and position cookware as shown in
.
•
For single rack baking use rack position 4.
Roasting Tips
•
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Quick Bake. Do not cover foods when dry roasting.
•
For Turkey, roasts and hams, use rack position 2.
•
For small cuts of meat or poultry use rack positions 2 or
