Recommended Baking Guide
Rack and Pan Placement
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in the positions shown.
Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same cooking temperature together in one oven.
If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so that each one has at least 1" (25 mm) to 1 1/2" (38 mm) of air space around them.
