USING YOUR RANGE
FOR BEST AIR CIRCULATION
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
This results in better
baking.
• Place the pans so
that one is not directly
over the other.
• For best results, allow
For best baking results, bake 1 sheet of cookies at a time.
• If baking with
2 cookie sheets, use
racks 2 and 4. Switch
the cookie sheets to the
opposite rack about 2⁄3
of the way through the
baking time, then finish baking.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE | PLACE |
|
|
1 pan | In center of the oven rack. |
|
|
2 pans | Side by side or slightly |
| staggered. |
|
|
3 or 4 pans | In opposite corners on |
| each oven rack. Stagger |
| pans so no pan is directly |
| over another. |

USING ALUMINUM FOIL FOR BAKING
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles:
•Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn up the foil edges and make
sure the foil is about
1 inch larger all around than the dish holding the food.
• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circula- tion and give you poor cooking results.
•Do not line the oven bottom or the entire oven rack with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of your baking.
