• Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the
oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
Preheating time usually 10 minutes.
• Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in
the oven as exact as possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves,
stagger the pans, so that one is not directly above the other.
