Extension foods and nutrition specialists at Penn sylvania State University say when putting two or more pans in the oven at the same time, stagger them on different shelves, so that one is not directly above the other. There should be at least one inch between two pans on the same shelf. ERTH-RITE SEA-BORN ALGIT ZOOK & RANCH, INC. R.D. 1 Gap, Pa. 17527 Phone 717-442-4171 Main Office N.
