BAKING

(continued).

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best results.

Cookies

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better- looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan

(short sides all ,. around) may have

darker edges and pa e or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.

For best results, use only 1 cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be 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 of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1 X inch space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use 2 shelves, stagger the pans so 1 is not directly above the other.

Pies

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 retain it. -

Cakes

When 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. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and results in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be 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 30-40 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking

times longer. Your baking results may also. be affected.
