This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are acidic in content, such as tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice, may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.

It should not completely cover the shelf as this would cause uneven heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed on the oven bottom.
