My past liners went under the bottom heating element in my electric ovens. The instructions for my Chef's Planet liner say to ONLY put it on the bottom rack. I find this problematic because I sometimes want to move the bottom rack and use both racks....

I have always kept mine on the floor of the oven, under the heating element. The heating element seems a bit raised from it, but the liner is touched on both sides by little metal supports which hold up the element. I swear by this liner and just rinse it off in the sink every once in a while. It is a true lifesaver!

The package instructions say not to put it on the floor of the oven (mine did at least) but I only have two shelves and do not have a heating element on the floor of my oven so I did put it on the bottom. If you have an element/coil down there then that would not work.

I am currently using it in a gas oven on the lowest rack. The instructions say not to place the mat on the bottom of the oven interior of a gas oven.

I have an electric stove. The liners I bought are open on one end & I just lift the burner upwards and slide the liners underneath. Takes three seconds and it has saved me a LOT of time scrubbing the actual metal burner plates. Next thing I need is burner "covers" to protect the burners I am not using, from spills and splashes! :)

the heating elements remain on the 2 inside and outside walls. the metal (i will call baskets) close in on whatever your bread thickness is as soon as it starts to lower. i have put really thick bagels in it and it did well.

I have a gas range, but I'm looking at the box the liner came in, and it says: "For electric ovens with no visible element place oven liner on the lower rack" or "For electric ovens with a visible element place oven liner under the element". I use liners all the time and this one is doing the job.

I can't answer this, as I have an electric oven, and I put mine on the floor of the oven.

I have the same question, because I have been just using the drip/bake pan that came with the box and it was bowing when I was using the convection oven but eventually came back to normal shape. This worries me that it's not made to withstand the heat. I'll let you know if I find anything.

does it work on the bottom of the oven under the heating element, in convection oven?

Absolutely! I love mine! If you have a hidden element on the bottom, just place this on the bottom RACK. Works great!

I have an electric oven and the oven liner is under the lower element right on the floor of the oven. I have had it there for several years and it works well for me. Hope this helps.

Yea this has a heating element on the bottom too. When you bake they both come on, broil only top one and so on.

Hi, Juanita. I would not recommend using this directly on an oven rack, as the silicone liner is quite flimsy and your baked goods might slide around or fall off the liner. These silicone liners should always be used with a metal sheet pan underneath to support them.

Mine is not a tight fit. It sounds like a flaw in the construction of the oven. I would get hold of Hamilton Beach customer service to report the problem and see what they want to do about it.

Douglas, the way mine fits is lip on the top goes around (over) the lip on the bottom piece. To bake properly I would think you wouldn't want any gaps which would allow the moisture to escape.

This liner was to be used only on the bottom shelf and not on the bottom of the oven, a liner is a liner but check if they are lining the bottom or another shelf.

You cannot put a pan directly on the liner. The liner does not sit on a rack. I lines the bottom of the oven. This is not the most durable liner i have purchased. i would not buy it again.
