USING THE OVEN
APPROPRIATE BAKEWARE / PLACEMENT
Bakeware suitable for use in your Hestan oven are
metal, heat-proof glass (Pyrex®), glass-ceramic,
EN
earthenware pottery, etc. Cookie sheets / jelly roll
pans with a small lip are also suitable. Thicker sheets
or double-sided sheets may increase baking times.
Stagger multiple cake pans as shown here. Leave
approximately 2" [5 cm] space between all pans and
oven walls to allow for hot air circulation inside the
oven.
