BakingPan PlacementFor even cooking and proper browning, there must beenough room for air circulation in the oven. Bakingresults will be better if baking pans are centered asmuch as possible rather than being placed to the frontor to the back of the oven.Pans should not touch each other or the walls ofthe oven. Allow 1- to 11⁄ 2-inch space between pansas well as from the back of the oven, the door andthe sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger thepans so one is not directly above the other.Baking GuidesWhen using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructionsfor the best baking results.Cookies Aluminum FoilWhen bakingcookies, flat cookiesheets (withoutsides) producebetter-lookingcookies. Cookiesbaked in a jelly rollpan (short sides allaround) may havedarker edges andpale or light browning may occur.Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches thewalls or the door of the oven. Never entirely covera shelf with a large cookie sheet.For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the ovenat a time.Never entirely covera shelf withaluminum foil.This will disturbthe heat circulationand result inpoor baking.A smaller sheet offoil may be usedto catch a spilloverby placing it on alower shelf severalinches below the food.Pies CakesFor best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pansto produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foilpans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheetfor baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat awayfrom the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will causeuneven baking results and poorly shaped products.A cake baked in a pan larger than the reciperecommends will usually be crisper, thinner anddrier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller thanrecommended, it may be undercooked and batter mayoverflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan sizeused is the one recommended.Don’t PeekSet the timer for the estimated cooking time and donot open the door to look at your food. Most recipesprovide minimum and maximum baking times such as“bake 30-40 minutes.”DO NOT open the door to check until the minimumtime. Take advantage of the “Big View” window (onsome models) to monitor cooking progress. Openingthe oven door frequently during cooking allows heatto escape and makes baking times longer. Your bakingresults may also be affected.19
