Baking Guide

1.Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most conventional baking, light, shiny finishes generally give best results because they help prevent overbrowning. For best browning results, we recommend dull bottom surfaces for cake pans and pie plates.

2.Dark or non-shiny finishes and glass cookware generally absorb heat, which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce oven heat 25”F. if lighter crusts are desired. Rapid browning of some foods can be achieved-by preheating cast-iron cookware. - -

3.Preheating the oven is not always necessary, especially for foods which cook longer than 30 to 40 minutes. For foods with short cooking times, preheating gives best appearance and crispness.

4.Open the oven door to check food as little as possible to prevent uneven heating and to save energy.
