Preheating
Heat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the food in the oven. Preheat for
10 to 12 minutes.
Opening Oven Door
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Arranging Oven Racks
The oven racks should be arranged before the oven is turned "ON." Place the racks so
the food is centered in the oven..
Temperature Selection
It is important to select to proper temperature setting. Imagine that the control has
three sections: Warm, Bake, and Broil.
Warming
The broiler section of your range can function as a warming drawer to keep foods at
serving temperature (175oF to 225oF). Place food on the broiler pan in the low
position and set the oven control to the lowest setting (“WM”).
Baking
Follow the recipe instructions when baking. Use correct ingredients, measure them
carefully, and use the correct type and size of utensil suggested in the recipe.
Remember to preheat properly. Avoid opening of the oven door as much as possible
when baking.
When baking cakes in glass baking dishes, lower the oven temperature 25oF to
prevent browning of the bottom and sides before the top becomes brown.
Also when using glass bakeware it would be better to increase the preheat time to
have exact stabilization of the oven’s temperature. To do so allow 20 minutes time
for temperatures up to 350oF and 30 minutes for temperatures up to 425oF.
Broiling
Preheat the broiler area and broiler pan for a few minutes. No definite time can be
given for broiling meats because of varying thickness, amounts of fat, and personal
taste. Be careful when handling hot broiler pans; be careful of the hot grease.
Serious injury can result due to spillage of hot grease. Never leave a dirty broil
pan in place. Always clean it and return it to the broiler assembly. Unauthorized broil
pan substitutes should never be used. Excess fat should be trimmed to reduce the
possibility of flame up. The meat could be ruined or fire could occur causing loss of
property and bodily injury.
