Cookware To achieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom cookpots that conform to the diameter of the solid or radiant element (no more than one inch overhang). Propercookpots will minimize cooking times, use less electricity, cook food more evenly and require less water or oil. Cookpots with thin, uneven bottoms do not adequately conduct heat from the solid or radiant element to the food in the cookpots which results in hot spots, burned or underdone food. Using bad

Improper Cookware • Do not use cookware that extends more than 1 inch beyond the edge of the element. • Do not use a small cookpot on a large element. Not only can this cause the elementto require moreenergy andtime, but it canalso resultinspillovers burning onto the eJementwhich cause extra effort Jncleaning. • Do not use nonflat specialty items that are oversized, uneven or do not meet propercookware specifications such as round bottom woks with rings, griddles, rippled bottom canners, lobster

Baking General Baking Recommendations • When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cooking times and temperatures as a guide. • Use tested recipes from reliable sources. • Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and for richer browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be started ina cold oven. Preheatingtakes from5 to 9minutes; place food inoven after OVEN INDICATOR LIGHT cycles off. • Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow su

Convection Baking Recommendations • As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a radiant bake oven, set the oven temperature 25°F lower than the recipe recommended temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than recipe recom- mended times. The chart on page 23 compares times and temperatures of many baked foods. Use this as a reference. • For better browning, large pans such as cookie sheets or rectangular baking pans should be placed lengthwise, front
