19BakingBaking Pans Pan PlacementUse the proper baking pan. The type of finish on thepan determines the amount of browning that will occur.• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in abrowner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resultingin a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes andcookies require this type of pan.• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking inglass baking dishes, the temperature may need to bereduced by 25°F.• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may findthat you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.to prevent over-browning.For even cooking and proper browning, there must beenough room for air circulation in the oven. Bakingresults will be better if baking pans are centered asmuch as possible rather than being placed to the frontor to the back of the oven.Pans should not touch each other or the walls of theoven. Allow 1- to 11⁄ 2-inch space between pans as wellas from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans soone is not directly above the other.Cookies Aluminum FoilWhen baking cookies,flat cookie sheets(without sides) producebetter-looking cookies.Cookies baked in ajelly roll pan (shortsides all around) mayhave darker edges andpale or light browningmay occur.Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches thewalls or the door of the oven. Never entirely covera shelf with a large cookie sheet.For best results during baking, use only one cookiesheet in the oven at a time.Never entirely cover ashelf with aluminumfoil. This will disturbthe heat circulation andresult in poor baking. Asmaller sheet of foilmay be used to catch aspillover by placing iton a lower shelf severalinches below the food.
