Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without 
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked 
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have 
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur. 
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches 
the walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely 
cover a rack with a large cookie sheet.
For best results during baking, use only one cookie 
sheet in the oven at a time.

Pies
Cakes
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans 
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in 
foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie 
sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects 
heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps 
retain it.
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause 
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. 
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe 
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and 
drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than 
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may 
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size 
used is the one recommended.
Peeking
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do 
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes 
provide minimum and maximum baking times such 
as “bake 30-40 minutes.” 
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. 
Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows 
heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your 
baking results may also be affected.
Before You Begin Roasting…
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. 
Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or 
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, 
indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed 
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly after being 
removed from the oven. The internal temperature 
will rise about 5° to 10°F during the recommended 
standing time of 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to 
firm up and makes them easier to carve. 
To compensate for this rise in temperature, you may 
want to remove the roast sooner (at 5° to 10°F less than 
the temperature in the Roasting Guide).
REMEMBER: Food will continue to cook in the hot 
oven and therefore should be removed when the 
desired internal temperature has been reached.
Using the roasting feature.
 
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, 
which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
How to Set Your Oven for Roasting
   Place the rack in A or B position. No preheating 
is necessary.
   Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat 
side up, or poultry breast side up, on roasting grid 
in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the 
meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat 
as possible. (A broiler pan with grid is a good pan 
for this.)
   Touch the BAKE pad.
To change the oven temperature during the 
roasting cycle, touch the BAKE pad and set the new 
temperature.
   Touch the or – pad to set the oven 
temperature.
   Touch the START pad.
   Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when roasting is 
finished.
