You can use ahmfinum foil to line tile

vou must mold tile fi)il tightly to tile grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Baking results will be better if baking

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

pan, place tile pans so each has at least

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

Ibm" cake layers at the same time, place

two la)'e_ on rack g and two la)'e_ on

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

of till on a lower shelf several inches

below tile food.

Never entirely cover a shelf with

aluminum fi)il. This will distufl) tile heat

circulation and result in poor baking.
