•Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
•When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven.
•For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (See Figure 21).
•When baking using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 22. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
•Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper- ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
