USING ALUMINUM FOIL

•Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners, or cookware. Permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

•Do not block the oven bottom vents.

•Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. Doing so will reduce air circulation and overall

oven performance.

• To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles place foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

•Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

•Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.
