How to position racks and pans
The rack(s) should be placed so the top
of the food will be centered in the oven.
Always leave at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan
and the oven walls and other pans.
For proper cooking, follow these
guidelines for specific foods;
■ Angel and bundt cake pans, yeast
breads, frozen pies, large roasts and
turkeys - place rack on lowest level
■ Casseroles, muffins, most quick
breads and meats - place rack on
second level from bottom
■ Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non­
frozen pies - place rack on second or
third level from bottom
When baking on two racks, arrange
racks on bottom and third level from
bottom.
A warning
Fire And Personal Injury Hazard
■ Always position oven racks in
desired location before turning
oven on. Be sure the racks are
level.
■ If racks must be moved while
oven is hot, use potholders or
oven mitts to protect hands.
■ Do not let potholders or oven
mitts contact hot heating ele­
ments.
■ Always use a dry potholder or
oven mitt to change racks or
handle utensils in the oven. Do
not use a damp potholder or oven
mitt. Steam bums could result.
Failure to follow the above
precautions may result in fire or
personal injury.
The hot air must circulate around the
pans in the oven for even heat to reach
all parts of the oven.
For best air circulation:
How to use aluminum foil for
baking:
/?=---------------------------------------- -
■ Place the pans so that one is not
directly over the other.
■ Allow 1 1 / 2 - 2 inches (4-5 cm) of
space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls.
■ Use only one cookie sheet in the
oven at 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.
NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat
loss, longer cooking times and
unsatisfactory baking or roasting results.
Use a reliable kitchen timer to keep track
of the cooking time.
Use aluminum foil to catch spill-overs
from pies or casseroles.
■ In single/upper oven, place the foil
on the oven rack below the rack
with the food. In lower oven, place
the foil on the oven rack below the
food. The foil should have the edges
turned up and be about 1 inch (3
cm) larger all around than the dish
holding the food.
■ Do not cover the entire rack with
aluminum foil. It will reduce air
circulation and cause poor cooking
results.
A warning
Electrical Shock, Fire And Product
Damage Hazard
■ Do not allow foil to touch the
heating elements because it will
damage them and could result in
shock or fire hazard.
■ Do not line oven bottoms with
foil or other liners. Poor baking
will result.
