How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Instructions Safety
The oven has a special low rack (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The rack is not designed to slide out at this position.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two racks, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. |
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower rack several inches below the food.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
