Baking Guidelines

When baking with a new oven, keep in mind temperatures vary from oven to oven. Store-bought thermometers are
generally not accurate and should not be used to calibrate oven temperatures.

Hints for Cookies,

Shiny, flat cookie sheets should
be used. Avoid cookie pans with
high sides - this will cause
uneven browning on the top.

Cookie sheet should not touch
the sides of the oven or door.

Cakes,

Follow recipe’s directions for
pan size. Shiny pans work best
for cakes.

Cake baked in too large a pan
will be thin and dry. Too small a
pan will be undercooked or
unevenly cooked and may spill.

Pies

Pies should be baked in dark or
dull pans to increase browning.

Frozen pies should be heated
on an aluminum cookie sheet.

BAKEWARE GUIDELINES

Dark or dull pans

Absorb more heat
and result in darker
browning.
Recommended for
pies and breads.
