Preparing for Family Gatherings: Planning and preparing for larger meals. Utilizing multiple oven racks efficiently

2. Use Convection Mode for Even Cooking

If your oven has convection mode (like the LG’s 4-in-1 Pro Cooking function), turn it on. It uses a fan to circulate hot air throughout the oven, helping to:

●      Cook food more evenly on multiple racks. 
●      Eliminate the need to rotate trays frequently. 
●      Speed up cooking times by up to 25%

Convection is perfect when you’re baking cookies on three trays, roasting vegetables while baking a lasagna, or cooking multiple dishes that require the same temperature.

3. ​Match Foods with Similar Temperature Requirements

To avoid over- or under-cooking, group dishes that cook at the same or similar temperatures. For example, if your menu includes chicken, Scalloped potatoes and Roasted carrots, cook them together on separate racks. If a dish requires a different temperature, try to adjust its placement or cook it ahead of time and reheat it using the Air Fry or Microwave function if available.

5. Reheat or Warm in Lower Rack or With ThinQ Control

Some dishes can be fully cooked earlier in the day and reheated before serving. Use the: Lower rack at 100–120°C to keep food warm LG ThinQ™ App to remotely preheat or adjust temps while you're finishing up other tasks You can even use Air Fry mode for crisping up reheated items like roasted potatoes or baked appetizers.

6. Practice Makes Perfect

If you’re new to cooking with multiple racks, do a test run. Try baking two sheets of cookies or roasting two trays of vegetables. This will help you understand your oven’s specific heat zones, rack height preferences, and airflow patterns.     
By following these tips and leveraging your oven’s technology, you can confidently prepare full-course meals for any gathering without sacrificing flavor, quality, or your own sanity.

1: Planning the Feast 

Before you even preheat the oven, successful large-scale cooking begins with a plan.

This size is ideal for roasting large cuts of meat while baking sides or desserts simultaneously.
