Positioning racks and

For baking/roasting with one rack, the rack should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1’12 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven walls and other pans.

lCasseroles, muffins, most quick breads and meats-place rack on second or third level from bottom.

When baking on two racks, arrange racks on bottom and third level from bottom.

lAllow 1’12to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.
