The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than normal. This rack design provides several additional possible positions between the standard postions.

To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking and when roasting large cuts of meat.

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow at least 2" (5 cm) around cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the cookware.
