Oven rack placement is important to get the best results when baking. Use a lower center rack for bread, casserole, roasting vegetables or browning the bottom of pizza crust. If you’re roasting a turkey or a large cut of meat, use a lower rack that puts the top near the middle of the oven for even baking. To brown the bottom of a pie, start baking it on a preheated cookie sheet on the bottom rack. After 20 minutes, remove the cookie sheet and move the pie to the center rack for the rest of the bake time. Bake cookies, cakes, pies, muffins and biscuits on one of the center racks. For two cake layers on the same rack, leave 2-4 inches of space around the pans. The spacing helps the cake layers bake evenly. Use one of the top rack positions when broiling or toasting. The closer food gets to the broiling element, the faster it cooks. To bake 2 pans of cookies at once, position the racks directly above and below the center position to allow for air circulation. Also, offset the cookie sheet positions on the racks. Rotate the pans halfway through for even baking. You might need to add a few minutes to baking time when using two racks. To bake four cake layers, use the same rack positions as when baking 2 pans of cookies. For the best air circulation, make sure none of the individual cake pans is directly above another pan. Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. Pre-heat the oven properly. Most ovens need at least 20 minutes to reach and maintain the temperature you set. Reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees when using dark or nonstick pans. Finally, don’t peek! Opening the oven door throws off the recipe time. Look through the oven window instead.

Hi, I never thought I’d ever have to YouTube "where’s the middle rack in my oven." We moved to a new place and I have an upgraded oven so I got a little confused. Not only did you give me that answer but I learned so much more! Thank you.
Thank you 😊😊
I see the oven in this example is an electric one with the heating element at the top. How is rack placement affected with a gas range, which heats from the bottom?
