BAKEWARE GUIDELINES
Dark or dull
pans
Absorb more heat
and result in darker
browning.
Recommended for
pies and breads.
Shiny pans
(no sides) Recommended for
cookies.

cakes
Glass pans
Lower recommended
oven temperature by
25°F.
Baking Guidelines
Remember when baking with a new oven temperatures vary from oven to oven. Store-bought thermometers are
generally not accurate and cannot be used to evaluate oven temperatures. A general rule with a convection bake cycle
is to reduce your temperature by 25°F. Ingredients should be at ambient temperature prior to baking.
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,
• Determine pan size from recipe
directions. Shiny pans work best
for cakes.
• Cake baked in too large a pan
will be thin and dry. Too small a
pan results in undercooked or
unevenly cooked cake and batter
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.
Bake Pan Placement
• Keep pans and baking sheets 2 inches
from oven walls.
• Stagger pans placed on different racks so
one is not directly over the other.
Convection Pan Placement
Baking pans and cookie sheets should not
touch side or rear walls of oven. If pans are
placed on different racks, they can be placed
directly over each other. Convection cooking
circulates air around oven providing even
browning on all rack positions. When using
convection, oven can be loaded on all racks
with excellent cooking results.
