Positioning racks and pans

Place the oven racks where you need them before turning on the oven.

•To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, 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.

•For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

•When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

•For best results allow 2 inches of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

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 guidelines:

• To avoid spillage, remove food before pulling out the rack.

• Tilt the rack up at the front before pulling it

Extra oven rack position over the door.

Where to place pans:

WHEN YOU HAVE	PLACE

1 pan	In center of the oven rack.

2 pans	Side by side or slightly
	staggered.

3 or 4 pans	In opposite corners on
	each oven rack. Stagger
	pans so no pan is directly
	over another.

Rack placement for specific foods:

NOTE: For information on where to place your rack when broiling, see “Broiling guidelines” later in this section.

•Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan (meat juices or water) so your food does not get overdone.
