Baking Tips
y
Follow the recipe or convection food directions for
baking temperature, time and rack position.
y
Baking time and temperature will vary depending on
the ingredients, size, and shaped of the baking pan
used.
y
If baking with more than one pan, place the pans
so that each one has at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space
around them.
y
Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.
y
Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish),
heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other bakeware
recommended for oven use.
y
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food
faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will
slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.

Tips for Convection Baking
y
Cookies and biscuits 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.
y
When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
oven rack in position D. If cooking on two racks, place
the oven racks in positions B and D. If cooking on three
