(Shelf iPcxiMcms:II =bomm’y2,3, and4=top) —4. Aluminum pans generally conduct heat quickly, For most
conventional bakinglight shiny finishes generally give best
results because they help prevent overbrowning in the time it
takes for heat to cook the center areas. Dull (satin-finish) bottom
surfaces of pans are recommended for cake pans and pie plates
to help those areasbrowncompletely.
2. Dark or non-shiny finishes, alsoglass and pyroceram,gener-
ally absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce
oven heat 25° if lighter crusts are desired. Preheat cast iron for
baking some foods for rapid browning when food isadded. —
3, Preheating the oven is not always necessary, especially for
foods which cook longer than 30 or 40 minutes. For food 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 saveenergy.
