Baking is a dry heat method used for cakes, breads, and pastries. Non-stick or ceramic-coated bakeware ensures even browning and easy release.

• Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in your recipe.
• Grease the baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• Prepare your batter or mixture and pour it into the dish, ensuring an even layer.
• Place the baking dish in the center of the oven for even heat distribution.
• Check the food halfway through the cooking time, rotating the dish if necessary.
• Test for doneness using a toothpick (for baked goods) or a thermometer (for casseroles).
• Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.
• Carefully remove the food from the baking dish once it has cooled enough to handle.
• Step 1: Allow the dish to cool completely before washing.
• Step 2: Soak the dish in warm, soapy water to loosen baked-on residue.
• Step 3: Use a non-abrasive sponge or brush to clean the interior and edges.
• Step 4: Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry or towel dry.
