If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. · · · · · · · Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven. Preheat the oven when using the (Max) Broil, (Max) Convection Broil, Bake, Convection Bake and True Convection modes. Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items. Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature. Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently. For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, shiny metal bakeware. Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time. Do not set broil pans or any other heavy object on the open oven door. Do not keep the empty broil pan in the oven during cooking as this changes cooking performance. For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc. It is normal for certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process.
