from escaping.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the

pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

● 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

cookies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by

25°F.

and use the recommended cooking time in

the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies

or casseroles.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be

enough room t’or air circulation in the oven. Baking

results will be better if baking pans are centered

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

inch space between pans as well

as from the back

of the oven, the door and the sides. If

you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not

directly above the other.
