Cooties
men bting cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use ody 1 cookie sheet in the oven at a time.
Cakes
For best results, bake pies in dark, 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 retin it.
men baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. H baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it maybe undercooked and batter may oveflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.
Altinu Fofl
Never entirely cover a shelf with durninum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during coo~ng allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may dso be affected.
