HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS WHEN COOKING IN THE OVEN
• Many recipes give their own rack suggestions, it is best to follow what is suggested by the recipe.
• After a few times of using your new range, you will become more comfortable with rack
placements and temperature settings.
• Avoid opening the oven door while cooking. This will prevent heat from escaping and provide
the best results.
• Make sure to preheat the oven to the cooking temperature given in the recipe.
• When baking with more than one rack, stagger the pans and give them at least 2" of space
between each pan.
• Remember that different bakeware and pans cook and heat differently.
• Light-colored non-stick pans result in golden crust that is tender.
• Dark-colored non-stick pans result in a more brown, crisp crust.
• Generally, when using any Convection mode, it is suggested to reduce the temperature by 25°F
[14°C], though this does not apply to all recipes or meats and poultry.
RACK POSITION / BEFORE BAKING RACK POSITION / BEFORE BAKING
Rack positions depend on the food items you are baking or roasting. Follow the instructions , or your
best experience, on which rack position is best to use for a given recipe.
Not all oven racks need to be kept in the oven. If you find you only need one or two racks most of
the time, remove the extra rack and store in a convenient location should it be needed later.
ALWAYS place the oven racks at the desired height before cooking. If the racks must be moved
when hot, use potholders to move them and use caution to avoid touching any heating elements.
Minimize opening the oven door by using the oven light.
