Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on 2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

For 2-shelf baking, place the offset shelf in the bottom (A) shelf position. Place the straight shelf in the third (C) shelf position.

CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then,

When baking on

3 shelves, divide the oven into thirds

by placing the offset shelf in the third (C) shelf position and straight shelves in first (A) and fourth

(D) shelf position.

Offset Shelf

using 2 pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The offset shelf is low and you could be burned if you place you hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out.

NOTE: When convection baking with only 1 shelf,

follow the shelf positions recommended in Oven — Shelves in the Baking section.

How to Set Your Oven for Convection Baking
