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 2 oven
racks, place cookware as shown in
Figure 10
and place
racks in rack positions 2 & 4. Allow at least 2 inches (5cm)
of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
•
Do not open oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the oven temperature and may increase cooking
time.
•
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or over-browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent over-browning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies; shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.
