Baking
(continued)
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat
cookie
sheets
(without
i
sides)
produce
better-
looking
cookies°
Cookies
baked
in a jelly
roll pan
(short
sides
all around
may have
darker
edc
and pale or light brown-
ing may occur°
Do not use a cookie
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.
Pies
For best results,
bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce
a browner,
crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should
be placed
on an aluminum
cookie sheet
for baking
since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain ito
Cakes
When
baking
cakes, warped
or bent pans will cause
uneven
baking
results
and poorly
shaped
products.
A cake baked
in a pan larger than the recipe
recom-
mended
will usually be crisper, thinner
and drier than
it should
be. If baked
in a pan smaller
than
recom-
mended,
it may be undercooked
and batter may over-
flow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used
is the one recommended
Aluminum Foil
Never
entirely
cover a
shelf
with
aluminum
foil.
This will disturb
the
heat
circulation
and
result
in poor baking.
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
cooking
time 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 frequently
during cook-
ing allows
heat to escape
and makes
baking
times
longer
Your baking results
may also be affected.
