Oven Racks

Recommended rack positions for various types of
foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting
rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For
example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes,
muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position
higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving
them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow
sufficient space for air to flow.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired
position before you turn the oven on.
If your racks are difficult to slide, put some vegetable oil
on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the sides of
the rack.
Note:

a soft cloth.
