OVEN RACKS
CAUTION: Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven
bottom.The trapped heat can damage the porcelain and the heated air cannot
adequately reach the food being baked.
Baking
One or two racks can be used simultaneously during bake. Place the rack(s) in the desired position
before turning the oven on. Store any unused racks out of the oven.
Rack position 2 (second from bottom) will probably be used the most for single rack baking.
If you are using two racks simultaneously, be sure to check the food on the bottom rack sooner than
the minimum time.The food on the lower rack position may cook slightly faster than the food on the
upper rack, particularly if you are using large baking utensils.
If you are using two racks simultaneously, be sure to stagger the baking utensils so that one is not
directly above the other and the heated air can circulate freely around each pan.Allow at least 1” of
space between the oven walls and the pans.
If using large or commercial size baking utensils, the food may take a few extra minutes as the air
cannot circulate as freely as it does with a smaller pan.When using commercial size baking utensils, use
only one rack as the heat does not have the room to circulate.
Convection Baking
One to four racks can be used simultaneously during convection baking. Place the rack(s) in the desired
position before turning the oven on. Store the unused racks out of the oven.
Rack position 2 (second from bottom) will probably be used the most for single rack convection
baking.
When baking on more than one rack you do not need to stagger the pans. However, allow at least
1” of space between the oven walls and the pans so the heated air can circulate.
