USING YOUR RANGE
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.
USING ALUMINUM FOIL FOR BAKING
•Do not line the oven bottom or the entire oven rack
with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of
your baking.
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 11⁄2-2 inches of
space around each pan
and between pans and
oven walls.
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
1 pan
2 pans
3 or 4 pans
PLACE
In center of the oven rack.
Side by side or slightly
staggered.
In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly
over another.
