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% 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 (3 cm).
l
Use
only 1 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 alumi-
num 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.
