Positioning Racks And Pans - Whirlpool RMC275PD Use And Care Manual

Positioning racks and pans
General guidelines
• Before turning oven on position oven
rack(s) in desired location.
• To move rack(s), lift rack(s) at front and
pull out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect
hands if rack(s) must be moved while
oven is hot.
• For baking/roasting with 1 rack, place
the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.
• When baking/roasting on 2 racks,
arrange racks on second and fourth level
from bottom.
Bakeware tips
• When baking with insulated cookie
sheets or baking pans, place them in the
bottom third of the oven. You may need to
increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing from
the oven.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOO RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large Lowest level or
roasts, turkeys, angel 2nd level from
food cakes bottom
Bundt cakes, most 2nd level from
quick breads, yeast bottom
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies, biscuits, 2nd or 3rd level
muffins, cakes, from bottom
nonfrozen pies
NOTE: For recommended rack placement
when broiling, see "Custom broil chart" on
page 19.
When using ovenproof glassware or
dark bakeware, reduce the oven tem-
perature by 25°F, but use the same
baking time. Because these pans absorb
heat, producing darker bottom browning
and crispier crusts, place the rack in the
center of the oven. When baking pies and
bread, you can use the temperature
suggested in the recipe.
