•Choose the right size utensil; use the utensil recommended in the recipe.

•Store the broiler pans outside the oven. An extra pan without food, affects the browning and cooking.

•The type of pan used affects the browning:

•For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non- stick/anodized or shiny metal utensils.

•For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/ anodized or dark, dull metal utensils or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F.
