Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack
positions for various types of foods are provided in the

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow.

Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.

obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25° F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
