minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food
in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat
from escaping.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the

pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

● 

Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat, resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

● 

Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.

● 

Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by 

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to 1 

 space between pans as well

as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.
If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other.
