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 (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 because it will damage them and
could result in shock or fire hazard.
