Jenn-Air S136-C Use And Care Manual

BalrJngGeneral Baking Recommendations• When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cookingtimes and temperatures as a guide.• Use tested recipes from reliable sources.• Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise andfor richer browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be startedin a cold oven. Preheating takes from 5 to 9 minutes; place food in ovenafter OVEN INDICATOR LIGHT cycles off.• Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow suggested rack posi-tions on page 19 and in the various baking charts.• Allow about 1 to 11/2inches of space between the oven side walls andpans to allow proper air circulation.• When baking foods in more than one pan, place them on opposite cornersof the rack. Stagger pans when baking on two racks so that one pandoes not shield another unless shielding is intended. (See above photo.)• To conserve energy, avoid frequent or prolonged door openings. At theend of cooking, turn oven off before removing food.• Always test for doneness (fingertip, toothpick, sides pulling away frompan). Do not rely on time or brownness as only indicators.• Use good quality baking pans and the size recommended in the recipe.• Dull, dark, enameled or glass pans will generally produce a brown, crispcrust. Shiny metal pans produce a light, golden crust.• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheeton rack 2 or be removed to a dull or glass pan.24
