COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Cooking Conditions Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food. Condition Attributes Recommendation Aging cookware As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly. If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging. If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging. High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower. Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster. Foods may take longer to bake. Doughs may rise faster. Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed. Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes. Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation. Increase bake time or oven temperature. Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice. Cooking Results Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like. Result Food too light Recommendation Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe. Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe. Cooking Tips Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance. Cooking Baking Tips Rack placement Follow the instructions in "Oven Control Features" on starting on page 17. When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven. Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately after the beep. Checking food Bake or Convection Bake Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking performance. Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For best performance, see "Convection Bake" on page 22. 13
