Aluminum Foil
Nevercover the ovenbottom with aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line tile
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;
vou must mold tile foil tightly to tile grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
_Mmninmn frill may also be used to catch
a spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet
of foil on a lower shelf several inches
below tile food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminmn t0il. This will distm'b the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
