<\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn an oven, the temperature is very rarely, if ever, the same degree that you preheated the oven to. You may be thinking that this does not make much sense, however, the oven will average out to the preheated temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This occurs because the fan used to produce heat in the oven is not constantly running. If the fan was constantly running, ovens would wear out much faster than they do. This helps things become heated without taking in too much heat at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which Racks for Cooking 2 Lasagnas at Once<\/h2>\n\n\n\n In the case scenario that you want to cook more than one lasagna, you can bake them on the same rack if they both fit. If both lasagnas will not fit comfortably on the middle rack, you do not need to worry. It is possible to cook them at the same time still, but it is imperative to use the racks that are the most distanced: the bottom and top racks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why the Bottom and the Top Racks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This may sound odd since it has been addressed that the best rack to use is the middle rack, however, this only applies to when a person is baking one lasagna at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been previously addressed that the top and bottom racks are where the most heat resides, so there might be a possible fear of burning something, but nothing will burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you are baking two things at the same time, you want to make sure everything is cooked at the same rate. Putting one lasagna on the top rack and one lasagna on the bottom rack will result in both being cooked the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since heat comes from the bottom, the lasagna on the bottom will be able to cook the way it needs to. The bottom will not be burned, though, because there is an additional lasagna that is receiving heat as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since there are two dishes in the oven, rather than just one, the heat is being transferred into both dishes. The heat is not being focused directly on the bottom rack or the top rack. The heat will react differently to having two things to heat as opposed to one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you worry about both lasagnas being cooked fully, you can always rotate their positioning in the oven about halfway through the time allotted to bake the lasagnas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCan I Just Put Both Lasagnas on the Middle Rack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n One may ask why not just put both lasagnas on the middle rack<\/strong>? The answer to this is a simple one. You may not have the necessary room to easily move both of the pans while they are on the same rack. Since the majority of people use 9×13 pans, it may be too tight of a fit if both pans are on the middle rack of the oven. If the oven you are using is wide enough, by all means, cook both lasagnas on the middle rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen cooking lasagna in the oven, it is best to use the middle rack if there is only one lasagna because it centralizes where the heat will go. With multiple lasagnas, it is best to use multiple racks, such as the top and bottom rack. It is alright to cook multiple things at once, especially if they are the same food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
