in undercounter applications.
Never entirely co\vr a rack xdth aluminum foil.
This will disturb tile heat circulation and result ill
poor baking. A smaller sheet (ff flfil may be used
to catch a spillo\ er by placing it on a lower sack
several inches below tile ibod.
NOTE: For general baldng, only one or P,vo lacLs
will be used, Three mcLs will be used only when
multi-rack baking. Remo\v tile third rack fl'om

Most recipes flw baking have been de\ eloped
using high-fi_t products such as butter or
margarine (80% fia). If you decrease tile fst,
tile redpe may not gi_e tile same results as
with a highe>tht product,
Redpe fiulure call result if cakes, pies, pastries,
cooldes or candies are made with low-tht spreads.
Tile lower tile fi_t content of a spiead product,
tile more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled
"margmine" to contain at least 80% fi_t by weight.
I.ow-fi_t spIeads, on tile other hand, contain less
fi_t and more watel: Tile high moisture content
of these spreads affect tile texture and flavor ot
baked goods. For best results with your old
fhvofite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick
spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil
