be placed so the top of the food will be centered
in the oven. Always leave at least 1'12 to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the
oven walls and other pans.
.For pioper
cooking,
follow
these
guidelines
for specific
foods:
l
Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen
pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on
lowest level.
l
Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and
meats-place rack on second or third level from
bottom.
l
Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen pies-
place rack on second or third level from bottom.
When baking on two racks, arrange racks on
bottom and third level from bottom.
