HOW THE OVEN WORKS
The air within the oven is heated by a bake etement

The heated air moves around the oven heating the pans and cooking the food within For even cooking or brown_.
ing, each pan needs enough space on alt sides to a_low tho the free movement of heated air throughout the
oven Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to oven bottom will not allow the free movement of air tin. proper air movement wilt cause uneven browning and cooking
