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 IM 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:
l
Angel and bundt cake pans, yeast breads, frozen pies, large roasts and
turkeys - place rack on lowest level
l
Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and meats - place rack on second
level from bottom
l
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.
