Baking (continued)
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat,
cookie sheets (without
sides) produce better'-
rooking cookies. Cookies
baked in a jelly roll pan
(short sides all around
may have darker ed(
and pale or light brown-
ing may occur
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or' the door' of the oven.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the
oven at a time.
Pies
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it..
Cakes
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products°
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recom-
mended will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than
it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recom-
mended, it may be undercooked and batter may over-
flow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used
is the one recommended,
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a
shelf with aluminum foil.
This wilt disturb the heat
circulation and result in
poor baking. A smaller
sheet of foil may be used
to catch a spillover by pla-
cing it on a lower shelf
several inches below the
food.
Don't Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such as
"bake 30-40 minutes.,"
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time Opening the oven door frequently during cook-
ing allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer. Your baking results may also be affected_
