does the oven liner set on bottom of oven/

This mat DOES go on the bottom of the oven. I don't understand why the reviewers told you it goes on your oven rack. Even the manufacturer says the bottom of the oven. I've used one for years.

Yes the liner can. When you are just using the oven to bake. This liner is great. I have a convection oven and I use it all the time.

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

Yes. Any oven. Some ovens have the heat come through the bottom so I'd probably just recommend cutting out the area that the heat actually comes through or putting it on the first rack in the oven. I have 3 racks in my oven so just placed it on the lowest rack and it works great. Saved me a few times catching sweet potato spill overs

I have an oven with hidden heating elements. I read the reviews and didn't read anywhere that the liner shouldn't be used on the bottom of this type of oven. I just received the liner and the box says, "For electric ovens that have hidden elements or gas ovens, place the liner on the lowest rack". I'm disappointed.

No it does not. It is a overlap meaning you fold the top in a few inches so there are 2 layers holding the liner in place under the top.

In my experience no. We put a little sand down to level the bottom then the pad and installed the liner. We used less sand becsuse of the pad. I am not sure if that was the right thing to do but so far so good with us.

Yes, you may place your baking pans directly on the Ovenliner, so that you don't lose any oven space. - Creative Kitchen

No, it will be too close to the element. I always put my oven rack at the lowest position & then put the 3-in-1 rack on top of the oven rack.

I put mine right on the bottom of the electric oven. On the floor. Seems to be OK -

I put mine on the bottom of the oven but the heating element weakened the material to where it turned white and then split on one side. My electric oven never set over 425.

No, it does not. It will not reach bottom, forcing you to up the oil amount. I bought both this and the 7 qt dutch oven and will be returning this piece.

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.

Yes. Everything I've baked on it has turned out wonderful! No burned edges or bottom. I highly recommend this pan.

The bottom part of the oven really browns stuff. We bake cookies, all kinds of appetizers and small pies. It really works well.

It will not scratch th element. If iron cookware and its content is too heavy the element support will sag or break and will touch the oven liner.

I haven't used the liner in a regular oven, but I wouldn't recommend it! I hope you enjoy your oven as much as I do...hardly use oven only for baking cookies and pies!
