Baking Guide
1. Aluminum pans conduct heat 2. Dark or non-shiny finishes and
quickly. For most conventional glass cookware generally absorb
baking, light, shiny finishes give best heat, which may result in dry, crisp
results because they help prevent crusts. Reduce oven heat 25”F. if
overbrowning. For best browning lighter crusts are desired. Rapid
results, we recommend dull bottom browning of some foods can be
for cake pans and pie plates. achieved by preheating cast iron
cookware.
3. Preheating the oven is not always
necessary, especially for foods
which cook longer than 30 to 40
minutes. For food with short
cooking times, preheating gives
best appearance and crispness.
4. Open the oven door to check
food as little as possible to prevent
uneven heating and to save energy.
