For best air circulation
The 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.
lPlace the pans so that one is not directly over the other.
lFor best results, allow 1YZto 2 inches
l Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at | 4 |
one time. |
|
Use the following as a guide to determine |
|
where to place the pans: |
|
One pan |
|
Place in the center of the oven rack. |
|
Two pans |
|
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack. |
|
Three or four pans |
|
Place 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:
lPlace the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all around than the dish holding the food.
l Do not cover the entire rack with alumi- num foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking results.
l Do not line oven bottom or entire oven rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
Do not allow foil to touch the heating elements.
Failure to follow this precaution could result in electrical shock or fire hazard and damage to the elements.
