How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid
or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to
thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE:

browning may occur.
.—
Pies
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.
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches
below the food.
Cakes
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.

When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
Q.
grid in the pan?
A.
Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A.
In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven may
be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element
for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with
food in oven. Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest
period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide.
Turn food only once during broiling. You may
need to move the food to a higher shelf position.
Q.
Should I salt
A. No.
Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the
meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape.
