1.Preheatingisvery imprmnt

when using temperatures below 225”F.and when baking foods such as biscuifi, cookiesqcakes

and other pastries. Preheat the ovenfor at least 15minutes.

Preheating is not necessary when roastingor for long-timecooking of whole meals.

2.Aluminumpans conduct heat quickly,For most conventional baking, light, shinyfinishes give best resultsbecause they help preventoverbrowning,For best browningresults, we recommend dull bott~msurfaces for cake pans and pie plates.

3, Dark or non-shinyfinishes and glass cookwaregenerally absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce ovenheat 25”F.if lightercrusts arc desired. Mpid browningof some foods can be achieved-bypreheatingcast-iron cookware.
