Baking
(continued)
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven Baking results
wilt 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_,_-inch(25- to 4-cm) space between
pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and
the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other..
Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package
recipe or instructions for the best baking results
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat
liF
cookie sheets (without sides) ,_
produce better-looking
cookies Cookies baked in a
jelly roll pan (short sides all
around) may have darker
edges and pale or light
browning may occur.
L_
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 crusL 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 it.
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
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 recommended,
Aluminum
Foil
Never cover the oven
bottom with aluminum foil.
Never entirely cover a
shelf with aluminum folio
This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor
baking. A smaller sheet of
foil may be used to catch a
spitlover 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 cooking allows
heat to escape and makes baking times longer.. Your
baking results may also be affected,
