Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.

Cookies

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Cookies can be baked on several shelves at the same time but browning may be uneven because of reduced air circulation.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Do not put aluminum foil on the oven bottom.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Stagger the pies for most even browning. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed

Cakes

For best browning when baking several 8“ or 9“ cakes, stagger them so one pan is not directly above another. Warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly

the recipe recommends wil usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may oveflow.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

c Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

●Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

●Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by 25°F.

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 3040 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.
