For best results

As much as possible, use only one rack on position 2 or 3 and center the pans. If more racks or pans are needed, refer to the figures below.

If using two racks, place the oven racks in position 2 and 4.

When placing multiple food items in the oven allow 2-4” (5-10cm) of space between the food items for proper air circulation.

Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
