For best baking results
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 5 ( Figure 1).
• When baking using 2 oven racks, position cookware as
shown in Figure 2. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between cookware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time
to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.
