Baking and Traditional Cooking
Warming and Reheating Tips
• Do not completely enclose foods in
aluminum foil. Foil can insulate foods
and slow down heating.
• To reheat rolls or biscuits, place
on baking pan and heat at 300ºF
(150ºC) for 10 minutes.
• Reheat leftover roasts or casseroles
at 350ºF (180ºC) for 20 to 30 minutes
or until heated through.

check the fit before preparing the recipe.

Baking Tips
• The convection method (available on
select models) cooks up to one-third
faster than traditional baking. When
first using, check to determine if time
or temperature should be adjusted.
• Cooking time will vary considerably
depending on the density of food.
Cook until thermometer inserted in
the center of the meat registers
desired doneness.
Pizza Tips
• To reheat pizza, never place box in
oven. Slices of pizza should be
reheated on broil rack in baking pan
with oven rack in middle position.
• For crisp crust pizza, cook frozen
pizza directly on oven rack with rack
in middle position.
• For soft crust pizza, cook frozen
pizza oven rack covered with alu-
minum foil with rack in lowest posi-
tion.
• For a homemade crust pizza (or any
soft dough), cook pizza on baking
pan with pan in lowest rack position.
