Convection Cooking on Multiple Racks
For best results, bake foods on one rack at atime as described in this manual. However,
very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on multiple racks.
Quantity cooking provides both time and energy savings.
The convection oven issuggested for most multiple rack cooking, especially three rack
cooking, because the circulating heated air results in more even browning than radiant.
For two rack cooking, the radiant bake oven provides very good baking results espe-
cially when pans can be staggered, such as with layer cakes.
Many foods can be prepared on three racks at the same time. These are just a few
examples: cookies, cakes (layer or sheet cakes), cupcakes, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pies,
frozen convenience foods, pizzas, appetizers, and snack foods.
To obtain the best results in multiple rack cooking, follow these suggestions:
Use temperature and times in this manual as a guide for best results.
For two rack baking, rack positions 2 and 4 are best for most baked products
but positions 1 and 3 also provide acceptable results.
For three rack baking use positions 1, 3 and 5. One exception is pizza (see
page 17).
Since foods on positions I and 5will usually be done before foods on position
3, additional cooking time will be needed for browning foods on the middle
rack. An additional 30 to 60 seconds are needed for thin foods such ascookies.
For foods such as biscuits, rolls, or muffins, allow 1 to 2 more minutes. Frozen
pies and pizzas, which should be baked on a cookie sheet, need about 2 to 4
more minutes.
• Stagger small utensils, such as layer cake pans, in the oven.
• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be placed on cookie sheets and
baked on rack positions 1, 3, and 5.
• Jelly roll pans and cookie sheets should be placed lengthwise, front to back, in
front of the fan for more even browning.
• Oven meals are recommended for energy conservation. Use rack positions 1
and 3 or 1 and 4.
