Baking
Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 1 & 4 (See Fig. 7). For best results
when using a single oven Flat Rack, place cookware on rack position 3 (See Fig. 8).
Air Circulation
in the Oven
For best aircirculation and baking results
allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the
cookware for proper air circulation and
be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides
or back of the oven cavity. The hot air
must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for even
heat to reach around the food.
