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 ct)okies require this type of pan.

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

●If you are using dmk non-stick pans, you may find that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F. to prevent overbrowning.”

Pan Placement

For even cmking and proper browning. there must bc enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back t]f the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to I K-inch space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the dot)r and the sides. If you need to use twn shelves, stagger the pans so (]ne is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructi(]ns for the best baking results.

Cookies

When baking cookies, tlat cookie sheets (withf)ut sides) prtiuce 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.

D() not use a cookie sheet so large that it tou$hes the walls {)r the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dmk, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and p(mrly shaped p~~ducts. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will 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 ovefflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.
