Air Circulation into the Oven
•To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate.
•For best air circulation and baking results allow two inches of space around bake ware and be sure pans and bake ware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity.
•The hot air must circulate around the pans and bake ware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
