Cookware

Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The
foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the
oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven
bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on
a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use
more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an
oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2"
from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
