~. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most corwentionai baking light shinyfinishes give best results because they prevent overbrowning
!nthe time it takes for heat to cook the center areas, Dull (satin-finish) bottom surfaces ofpans are recommended for cake pans and pie plates to
be sure those areas brown completely.
2. Darkor non-shiny finishes, also glass and pyroceram, absorb heat which may result in dry,crisp crusts. Reduce oven heat 25°if Iighter crusts
are desired. Preheat cast iron for baking some foods for rapid browning when food is added.
3. Preheating the oven is not always necessary, especially for foods which cooklonger than 30 or4C!minutes. Forfoods with short cooking times,
preheating gi~~esbest appearance and crispness.
4. Open the oven door to check food as little as possible to prevent uneven heating and to save energy.
