SING THE OVEN

Positioning racks and pans

Place the oven racks where you need them before
turning on the oven.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the
oven.

When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately three quarters of the total bake time.
Increase baking time, if necessary.

For best results allow 2 inches (5 cm) of space
around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

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.

Where to place pans:

WHEN YOU HAVE

1 pan

2 pans

3 or 4 pans

PLACE

In center of the oven rack.

Side by side or slightly
staggered.

In opposite corners on
