If baking four cake layen-s at the same time,
place two layel.-s on rack B and two layel.-s
on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so
one is not directly above the other.
Center baking pans in the oven.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, s ettheovenat thecorrecttemperature.
Thecontrolwill beepwhentheovenispreheated
andthedisplaywill showyourset temperature.
Thiswill takeapproximately 6 to 8 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1 to 1½" of air space around it.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. Howevm;
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the tbil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. lfyou
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.
Donotusealuminum foilon thebottomof
theoven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
ahlminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
