USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE OVEN

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.

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.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other liners. It could affect the oven surface

as well as the quality of

your baking.

• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circula- tion and give you poor cooking results.

•

•

•

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.
