Oven Rack Placement

This useful information was not included in the original book. When baking a cake or cakes on a single rack, the rack should be placed in the lower third of the oven — that is, just below center. If baking on two racks, position the racks in the upper and lower thirds. If baking a single sheet of cookies or a single, very thin sheet of cake, place the rack in the center of the oven.
