racks in position 2 and 4.
° When placing multiple food items in the oven allow 2-4"
(5-10cm) of space between the food items for proper air
circulation.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time
to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and mumns.
