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 1
1
⁄2 to 2 inches
of space around each pan and between
pans and oven walls.
• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at
a time.
Using aluminum foil for baking
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 foil edges and
make sure foil is about 1 inch larger all
around than the dish holding the food.
• Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
cause poor cooking results.
• Do not line oven bottom with foil or other
liners. It could affect the quality of your
baking.
Use the following as a guide to determine
where to place the pans:
1 pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
2 pans
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.
3 or 4 pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven
rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly
over another.
