Rack Positions

CAUTION:
Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven
racks or to line the oven. It can damage the oven and
cause a fire hazard if heat is trapped under it.
One Rack Baking
• When baking on one rack, best results are obtained in
the bake mode. See "Oven Functions" on page 22.
• When roasting a turkey or a large piece of meat,
convection bake may be used. Rack #2 is the most
appropriate rack.
Two Rack Baking
• Racks #2 and #4 are most appropriate when using the
convection bake mode. Cookie sheets should not be
staggered but the cookie sheet on rack #2 should be
placed directly under the one on rack #4 or #5. Stagger
round cake pans (see Figure 29).
• This may be used for cakes, cookies, biscuits and
other foods for which two rack baking is desirable.
• When several casseroles, frozen pies or cakes are to
be baked, use racks #2 and #4.
• These two racks can also be used for a large oven
meal.
Three Rack Baking
• When several sheets of cookies are to be baked, bake
them on racks #1, #3 and #5. Place the baking sheets
directly above each other on the respective racks to
allow air to flow around the baking sheets.
Bakeware Type
• Aluminum bakeware gives the best browning results.
• Cookie sheets with only two sides give the best results.
Aluminum commercial half-sheets or professional
cooking utensils may be used (see Figure 29).
Placement
• For better browning, utensils such as cookie sheets,
jelly roll pans and rectangular baking pans should be
placed crosswise on the rack with the shorter sides on
the right and the left. This allows the air to circulate
freely.
• When baking on more than one rack, stagger round
cake pans but cookie sheets should not be staggered.
