Baking Guide
1. Preheating is very important when using tem-
peratures below 225°F. and when baking foods
such as biscuits, cookies, cakes and other pas-
tries. Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes,.
Preheating is not necessary when roasting or for long-
time cooking of whole meals.
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly., For most con-
ventional baking, light, shiny finishes give best results
because they help prevent overbrowning. For best
browning results, we recommend cake pans and pie
plates with dull bottom surfaces..
3. Dark or non-shiny finishes and glass cookware
generally absorb heat, which may result in dry, crisp
crusts. Reduce oven heat 25°E if lighter crusts are
desired. Rapid browning of some foods can be
achieved by preheating cast iron cookware.
