USING YOUR RANGE

POSITIONING RACKS AND PANS

General guidelines

Follow this section carefully to get the best cooking results.

Before turning on the oven, place oven racks where you need them.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the front edge, and lift it out.

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

When baking/roasting with 1 rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

When baking/roasting on 2 racks, position racks in oven to allow good circulation of air around all the food.

Do not place items on the oven door when it is open.

NOTE: For information on where to place your rack when broiling, see “Broiling guide” later in this section.

Using insulated bakeware, ovenproof

glassware, and dark metal pans

When baking with insulated cookie sheets or baking pans, place them in the bottom third of the oven. You may need to in- crease the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven.

When using ovenproof glassware or dark bakeware, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F but use the same baking time.

Because these pans absorb heat, produc- ing darker bottom browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in the center of the oven. When baking pies and bread, you can use the temperature suggested in the recipe.
