section.
Darker browning of food caused by dull or dark bakeware – Lower the oven temperature
25°F (15°C) or move rack to a higher position in the oven.
Lighter browning of food caused by shiny or light colored bakeware – Move rack to a lower
position in the oven.
Batter distributed unevenly in pan – Check that batter is level in the pan.
Incorrect length of cooking time was used – Adjust cooking time.

in longer cooking times.

to higher position in the oven.
