Baking Baking Tips • Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn on the oven. • DO NOT open the door frequently during baking. Look through the door window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time. • Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in the center of the product should come out clean when done. • Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.
