shown on page 11.
• For best results when baking using two flat oven racks, place bakeware on oven positions 2 and 4 and place
pans as shown on page 11.
• Do not open oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.
• Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods.

some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
