General Baking Tips:
•
Preheat the oven 8-10 minutes before baking
items like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.
•
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning
of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time to prevent over
browning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended
for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
•
Do not open the oven door too often. Open-
ing the door will reduce the temperature in the
oven.
•
Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May
require reducing oven temperature
