NOTE." Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other
liners. It could affect the
oven surface as well as
the quality of your baking.

rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circula-
tion and give you poor
cooking results.
• Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or
casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below.
Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1
inch larger than dish.
• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry
to slow down surface browning for long term
roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if
browning too quickly.
