like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several
inches below the food.
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
