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 Recommendation
Food too light 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 Tips
Baking
Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Setting Oven Controls” on starting on page 19.
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 Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking perfor-
mance.
Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
