Cooking Modes

Page 27 highlights

• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time. • Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature. Preheat Reminders • Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and some frozen foods. • Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350° F. When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes. For Best Results • Use the cooking recommendations as a guide. • Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction. • Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently. • Use the Kitchen Timer to keep track of cooking times. Baking Pans and Dishes • Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes. • Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes. • Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware. • Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers' recommendations. • Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the length of cooking time. • Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door. • Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this could change the cooking performance. Store pans outside the oven. Opening the Oven Door • Open and close the appliance door only by holding the door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the door. High Altitude Baking • When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary. • For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc. Condensation • It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
time.
Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as
quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and
reduction of oven temperature.
Preheat Reminders
Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,
casseroles and some frozen foods.
Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer
preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F
is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not
preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
Use the interior oven light to view the food through the
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
Use the Kitchen Timer to keep track of cooking times.
Baking Pans and Dishes
Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven
temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes.
Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.
Use pans that provide the desired browning. For
tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized
or shiny metal bakeware.
Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will

Some manufacturers recommend reducing the
temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow
manufacturers' recommendations.
Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the
length of cooking time.
Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.
Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven
during cooking as this could change the cooking
performance. Store pans outside the oven.
Opening the Oven Door
Open and close the appliance door only by holding the
door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any
other parts of the door.
High Altitude Baking
When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking
times will vary.
For accurate information, write the Extension Service,
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado
80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify
which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer:
general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
