SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Quick Bake (some models) Benefits of the Quick Bake feature - Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy. - Multiple rack baking. - No special pans or bakeware needed. How Quick Bake works Quick Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with Quick Bake are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster and more evenly with Quick Bake. Suggestions for Quick Bake When baking 1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads. 2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended cook time. 3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 2). When roasting 1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Quick Bake. 2. Since Quick Bake cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained. 3. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the air from circulating around the food. NOTES When using Quick Bake cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked. Layer cakes will have better results using the pad. 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Fig. 1 Setting Quick Bake The oven can be programmed to Quick Bake at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C).
