SURFACECOOKINGUNITS

Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. Theuse of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

Aluminum Foil

Nevercover the ovenbottom with aluminumfoil.

You can use aluminum tifil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;

vou must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the g_id.

Baking results will be better if baking

pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one

pan, place the pans so each has at least

1 to 1½" of air space around it. If baking

Ibm" cake layers at the same time, place

two laye_ on rack g and two laye_ on
rock D. Stagger pans on the rack so one

is not directly above the other:

_Muminum frill may also be used to catch
a spilhwe_: To do so, place a small sheet

of toil on a lower shelf several inches

below the food.

Never entirely cover a shelf with

aluminuln f0il. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking.
