Baking Guidelines

When baking with a new oven, keep in mind temperatures vary from oven to oven. Store-bought thermometers are generally not accurate and should not be used to calibrate oven temperatures.

Hints for Cookies,

Shiny, flat cookie sheets should be used. Avoid cookie pans with high sides—this will cause uneven browning on the top.

Cookie sheet should not touch the sides of the oven or door.

For best results, use only one cooky sheet at a time.

Cakes,

Follow recipe’s directions for pan size. Shiny pans work best for cakes.

Cake baked in too large a pan will be thin and dry. Too small a pan will be undercooked or unevenly cooked and may spill.

Pies

Pies should be baked in dark or dull pans to increase browning.

Frozen pies should be heated on an aluminum cookie sheet.
