For best air circulation
The 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.
l
Place
the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.
l
For best results, allow
1 l/z to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls. There must
be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
l
Use
only one cookie sheet in the oven at
one time.
Use the following as a guide t13 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.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven
rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over
another.
Using aluminum foil for baking
Use aluminum foil to catch
splliovers
from pies or casseroles:
l
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 (3 cm)
larger all around than the dish holding the
food.
l
Do not cover
the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
cause poor cooking results.
l
Do not line oven bottom or entire oven
rack with foil or other liners. Paor baking
will result.
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
Do not allow foil to touch the heating
elements.
Failure to follow this precautic’n could
result in electrical shock or fin: hazard
and damage to the elements.
