Using the oven.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Aluminum foil may be used to
catch a spillover.
Leave the door open to the broil stop
position. The door stays open by itself,
yet the proper temperature is
maintained in the oven.

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven
at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven
as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls
of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 1
the front of the pan to the front of the shelf.
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will
disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by
placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
You can also use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Place the food on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
