The hot air must circulate
around
the pans in the oven for even heat
to reach all parts of the oven.
For Best Air Circulation:
l
Place the pans so that one is not
directly
over the other.
l
Allow lY2-2 inches (4-5 cm] of space
around
each pan and between
pans and oven walls.
l
Use only one cookie
sheet in the
oven at one time.
Use the following
as a guide
to deter-
mine where to place
the pans.
One Pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two Pans
Place in opposite
corners of the oven
rack.
NOTE: "Oven peeking"
may cause
heat loss, longer cooking
times and
unsatisfactory
baking
or roasting
results. Rely on your timer.
How to Use Aluminum Foil
for Baking:
Use aluminum
foil to catch
spill-overs
from pies or casseroles.
l
Place the foil on the oven rack
below
the rack with the food. The
foil should have the edges
turned
up and be about 1 inch (3 cm)
larger all around
than the dish
holding
the food.
l
Do not cover the entire rack with
aluminum
foil. It will reduce
air
circulation
and cause
poor cook-
ing results.
Electrical
Shock, Fire and
Product
Damage
Hazard
l
Do not allow foil to touch the
heating
elements
because
it
will damage
them and could
result in shock
or fire hazard.
l
Do not line Standard
Oven bot-
toms with foil or other liners.
Poor baking
will result.
