Centering the 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 1 ½" 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.
For cakes, place the oven racks in positions
3 and 5. For cookies, place the racks in
positions 3 and 5.
