• Page 16 - English - : BAKING Baking Pans Use the proper baking pan The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur Dark rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner crisper crust Use this type for pies Shiny bright and smooth pans reflect heat resulting in a lighter more delicate browning Cakes and cookies require this type of pan Glass baking dishes also absorb heat When baking in glass baking dishes the temperature may need to be reduced by 25F If you are using dark nonstick pans you may find that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25F to prevent overbrowning Dont 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 3040 minutes DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer Your baking results may also be affected Pies Cakes For best results bake pies in dark rough or dull pans to produce a browner crisper crust Stagger the pies for most even browning 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 For best browning when baking several 8 or 9 cakes stagger them so one pan is not directly above another Warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper thinner and drier than it should be If baked in a pan smaller than recommended it may be undercooked and batter may overflow
