Positioning racks and pans

Place the oven racks where you need them

before turning on the oven.

• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop

position, 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.

•For best performance, cook on one rack.

Place the rack so the top of the food will

be centered in the oven.

•When cooking with two racks, arrange the

racks on the 2nd

and 4th rack

guides. Two

sheets of

cookies may be

baked if sheets

are switched at

approximately

three quarters of

the total bake

time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

•For best results allow 2 inches of space

around each pan and between pans and

oven walls. 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.

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.

Rack placement for specific

foods:

NOTE: For information on where to place

your rack when broiling, see “Broiling guide-

lines” later in this section.
