1.Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly, For most conventional baking li.gh[shiny finishes generally give best results because they help prevent overbrowning in the time it takes for heat to cook the center areas. Dull
2.Dark or
25° if lighter crusts are desired. Preheat cast iron for baking some foods for rapi(i browning when food is added.
3.Prctwating the oven is not always necessary, especially for foods which cooklonger 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 save energy.
