For best air circulation
Hot air must circulate around the pans in
the oven for even heat to reach all parts of
the oven. This results in better baking.
l
Place the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.
l
For best results,
allow 1 l/2 to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls. There
must be a minimum space of 1 irch (2.5 cm).
l
Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at
one time.
Use the following
as a guide to
determine
where to place the pans:
One pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two pans
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven
rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly
over another.
Using
aluminum
foil for baking
Use aluminum
foil to catch spillovers
from
pies or casseroles:
l
Place the foil on the oven rack below the
rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and
make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) larger
all around than the dish holding the food.
l
Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum
foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause
poor cooking results.
l
Do not line oven bottom or entire oven rack
with foil or other liners. Poor baking will
resutt.
Electrical
Shock and Fire Hazard
Do not allow foil to touch the heating
elements.
Failure to follow this precaution could
result in electrical shock or fire hazard
and damage to the elements.
