Oven rack: 4 alternative ways to use them

FAQ
Can you cook 2 dishes in one oven?
The answer is yes ! Most people don’t know if they can cook two dishes at once using their oven, but that’s what it does! If the oven contains multiple racks and is programmed to keep the internal temperature set to whatever you selected, it’s not for nothing! It just consumes more energy when two cold dishes are inserted, but cooking is carried out successfully!
Dishes will typically take 15% longer to cook, so be sure to adjust meal times accordingly. To ensure even cooking, preheat the oven before inserting them and rotate them halfway through cooking.
At what height should the oven rack be placed for proper cooking of dishes?
Please note that choosing the correct height of the oven rack will help you achieve better cooking for your dishes. The temperature and movement of hot air differ in each part of the oven. The proximity of the heat source also comes into play… It all depends on the desired cooking method! Some dishes will cook better on top, others in the middle or on the bottom.
The central oven rack is suitable for a good number of dishes and is a safe bet for baking your cakes or bread. The lower zone, for its part, is perfect for roasting your meat and cooking your pizzas. Finally, the upper part is more suitable for grilling. The user manual for your appliance generally contains an informative section, to find out more about the ideal locations of the racks, depending on the model of your oven.
