Centering baking pans in the oven as much
as possible will produce better results. If
baking with more than one pan, place the
pans so each has at least 1˝ to 1½˝ of air
space around it.
When baking on a single oven rack, place
the oven rack in position 3 or 4.
See the figure on the left.
When baking cakes and cookies on multiple
racks, place the oven racks in positions 3
and 5.
