What temperature should the stationary rack be at?

  1. 150°F

  2. 160°F

  3. 165°F

  4. 170°F

The correct answer is: 165°F

The correct temperature for the stationary rack to be at is 165°F. This is because the temperature needs to be high enough to properly cook the food, but not too high to cause it to burn or become dry. Option A, 150°F, may not be hot enough to cook the food thoroughly. Option B, 160°F, is close but still lower than the recommended temperature. Option D, 170°F, is higher than the recommended temperature and may cause the food to overcook or become too dry. Therefore, C is the most suitable temperature for the stationary rack.
