If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of

For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow
2-4" (5-10 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do
not touch each other or the door, sides and back of oven. The hot air must
circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
For best results, preheat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or
pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking
casseroles.
