USING YOUR RANGE

POSITIONING RACKS AND PANS

General guidelines

Follow this section carefully to get the best cooking results.

•Before turning on the oven, place oven racks where you need them.

•To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the front edge, and lift it out.

•Be sure the rack(s) is level.

•Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

•When 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, position racks in oven to allow good circulation of air around all the food.

•Do not place items on the oven door when it is open.

Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)

Use this rack position when roasting food too large to be placed on the first rack position.

 

For proper roasting,

 

follow these guide-

 

lines:

 

• The rack must be level.

 

• Use an adequate

 

amount of liquid in the

 

pan (meat juices or

Extra oven rack position

water) so your food

does not get overdone.

•To pull the rack over the door you must tilt the rack up at the front. If the rack is loaded with food, tilting the rack could cause the food to spill. To avoid spilling, do not try to pull out the rack when removing large amounts of food.

Using insulated bakeware, ovenproof

glassware, and dark metal pans

•When baking with insulated cookie sheets or baking pans, place them in the bottom third of the oven. You may need to in- crease the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven.

•When using ovenproof glassware or dark bakeware, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F but use the same baking time.

Because these pans absorb heat, produc- ing 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.
