Baking
Tips
Baking time and temperature
will vary depending
on the ingredients,
size, and shape of the baking
pan
used.
Check for food doneness
at the minimum
recipe time.
Use metal bakeware
(with or without
a nonstick
finish), heatproof
glass-ceramic,
ceramic or other
bakeware
recommended
for oven use.
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings
will cook food
faster with
more browning.
Insulated
bakeware
will
slightly
lengthen
the cooking
time for most foods.

NOTE
The oven bottom
has a porcelain-enamel
finish.
To make cleaning
easier, protect
the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers
by placing a cookie sheet
on the rack below the rack you are cooking
on.
This is particularly
important
when baking
a fruit
pie or other foods with a high acid content.
Hot fruit
fillings
or other foods that are highly acidic may
cause pitting
and damage
to the porcelain-enamel
surface and should
be wiped
up immediately.
