For best air circulation
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the
oven for even heat to reach all parts of the
oven. This results in better baking.
l
Place
the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.
l
For best results, allow
1 l/2 to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls. There must
be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
l
Use
only one cookie sheet in the oven at
one time.
Use the following as a guide to determine
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.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven
rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly
over another.
Using
aluminum
foil for baking
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from
pies or casseroles:
l
Place
the foil on the oven rack below the rack
with the food.
Turn up
foil edges and
make
sure
foil is 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 cooking results.
l
Do not line
oven bottom or entire oven rack
with foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
Do not allow foil to touch the heating
elements.
Failure to follow this precaution could
result in electrical shock or fire hazard
and damage to the elements.
