14BAKING(continued)CookiesWhen baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (withoutsides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies bakedin a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may havedarker edges and pale or light browning may occur.Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches thewalls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover ashelf with a large cookie sheet.For best results during baking, use only one cookiesheet in the oven at a time.Pies CakesFor best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pansto produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foilpans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheetfor baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat awayfrom the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will causeuneven baking results and poorly shaped products.A cake baked in a pan larger than the reciperecommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drierthan it should be. 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.Aluminum FoilNever entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and result in poorbaking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch aspillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inchesbelow the food.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 30-40 minutes.”DO NOT open the door to check until theminimum time. Opening the oven door frequentlyduring cooking allows heat to escape and makesbaking times longer. Your baking results may alsobe affected.
