The top rack is ideal for using your grill function as the heating element you use is located at the top of your oven. Here you can grill food that you want quickly crispy or toasted, such as garlic bread, roasts and anything with melted cheese on top. Be careful when using this setting of your oven, because food you grill can burn quickly if you don't look closely. You can also make good use of the top rack of your oven if you bake two plates of cookies at the same time:place one plate at the top and the other in the middle and switch them halfway through the baking time. You may have to bake them a little longer because the oven is a bit fuller, keep that in mind!
The middle rack is also the standard rack for cooking food in the oven. You can use this rack for most foods, as the rack ensures that the food is placed in the middle of the oven. As a result, the heat circulates evenly around the food, so that it bakes and cooks evenly on all sides. So you can prepare cookies, oven dishes, fish, brownies, banana bread and a lot of other delicious dishes in it. You can never go wrong with the middle of your oven!
When cooking food at the bottom of the oven, place it closest to the heat source of your oven. This place is therefore perfect for baking pizzas and other types of flatbread that have to be briefly exposed to high temperatures. True, it may not have the effect of a wood burning oven, but it comes closer than using the center of the oven. Oh, and don't forget to move your pizza to the top rack to grill it just before serving, that will give the cheese that little bit extra.
