Baking Guide
"1. Aluminum
pans
conduct
heat quickly.
For most
conventional
baking, light, shiny finishes generally give
best results° They prevent
overbrowning
in the time
it takes for heat to cook the center area& Dull (satin-
finish) bottom surfaces
of pans are recommended
for
cake pans and pie plates to be sure those areas brown
completely.
2. Dark or non-shiny
finishes,
glass and Pyroceram ®
cookware
generally
absorb
heat, which may result in
dry, crisp crusts. Reduce oven heat 25°E if lighter crusts
are desired° Preheat
cast iron for baking some foods
for rapid browning
when food is added°
3. Preheating
the
oven
is not
always
necessary,
especially
for foods which cook longer than 30 to 40
minutes° For food with short cooking times, preheating
gives best appearance
and crispness,
4. Open
the oven door
to check
food as little
as
possible to prevent uneven heating and to save energy.
