USING THE OVEN
= ==
The integrated handle area makes pulling out the
STURDIGLIDE rack simple. The opening is large
enough for a potholder or oven mitt.
= == = =;=
The STURDIGLIDE TM HALF-RACK with removeable
insert is a space maximizer. When attached, they
make a full rack. The insert can also be used on
the counter for a cooling rack.
Position a full rack on guide 1 or 2 and the half-
rack on guide 3 or 4. On the full rack place large
items on right side and deeper, covered dishes on
left side. Place shallow dishes on the half-rack. It
may be necessary to increase cooking time. At the
end of cooking, carefully remove items from the
oven.
• For best results allow 2 inches of space around
each pan and between pans and oven wails. 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.
Use this rack position when roasting food too large
f to be placed on the first
rack position.
For proper roasting,
follow these guidelines:
• To avoid spillage,
remove food before
pulling out the rack.
position
• Tilt the rack up at the
front before pulling it
over the door.
• Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan
(meat juices or water) so your food does not get
overdone.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE
1 pan In center of the oven rack.
2 pans Side by side or slightly
............. staggered • ............
3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly
over another. =

Place the STURDIGLIDE 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 2rid 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.
