One Rack Baking
•
•
BAKE mode is best for baking on one rack with rack
level #3 used for most baked items. If the item is tall,
such as an angel food cake, rack level #2 may be
used. Pies are best baked on rack level #2 to make
certain the bottom of the crust is done without over
browning the top. When large pieces of meat or poultry
are roasted, such as a prime rib of beef or a turkey,
rack level #2 is the preferred rack.
