COOKWARE GUIDELINES
The mat erial, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light,
shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in
a browner, crisper and thicker crust. If using dark and coated
cookware check food earlier than the minimum cook time. If
undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware
consider reducing oven temperature by 25º F next time.
• Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods
such as cakes and cookies.
• Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but ret ain heat well.
These t ypes of pans work well for dishes such as pies and
cust ards.
• Air insulat ed pans heat slowly and can reduce bot t om
browning.
• Keep cookware clean t o promot e even heat ing.
• St oneware heat s slowly and ret ains heat well. It is
recommended t o preheat t his t ype of cookware if
possible. Addit ional cook t ime may be required.
