If baked in a pan smaller thanrecommended, it may be undercooked and batter mayoverflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan sizeused is the one recommended.Baking PansUse the proper baking pan. The type of finish onthe pan determines the amount of browning thatwill occur.l Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in abrowner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.l Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resultingin a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes andcookies require this type of pan.Don’t PeekSet the timer for the estimated cooking time and donot open the door to look at your food. Most recipesprovide minimum and maximum baking times suchas “bake 3040 minutes.”DO NOT open the door to check until the minimumtime. Opening the oven door frequently duringcooking allows heat to escape and makes baking timeslonger. Your baking results may also be affected.l Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When bakingin glass baking dishes, the temperature may need tobe reduced by 25°F.15
