Bakrng Guides
When ming prepared baking mbces, foUow paclrage
recipe or instructions for the best baking results.
Cookies
Wiren baking cookies,
flat cookie sheets
(without sides) produce
betterdooldng cooldes.
Cookies baked in a jelly
roll pan (short sides all
around) may have darker
edges and pale or light
browning may occur.
Do not use a cooMe sheet so large that it touches
the walls or the door of the oven.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the
oven at a time.
“ISS
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
CO produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cootíe sheet
for baldng since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.
Afuminum Foil
Never entirely cover a
shelf with alundnum
foil. This will disturb
the heat circulation and
result in poor baldng.
A smaller sheet of foil
may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on
a lower shelf several
inches below the food.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated coofong dme and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such as
“bake 30-40 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door frequendy during cooking
allows heat to escape and malces baldng times longer.
Your baldng; results may also be affected.
Cakes
WTien baldng cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A
calic baited in a pan larger than the recipe recommended
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. Check
the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one
reco mmended.
