BAKING GUIDE
1. Aiuiriinum pans conduct heat quickly. For most
conventional baking, light, shiny finishes generally
give best results because they help prevent
overbrowning. For best browning results, we
recommend dull bottom surfaces for cake pans and
pie plates.
2. Dark or non-shiny finishes and glass cookware
generally absorb heat, which may result in dry, cns
crusts. Reduce oven heat 25°F. if lighter crusts are
desired. Rapid browning
achieved by preheating cast-iron cookware.

especially for foods which cook longer than 30 to 40
minutes. For foods with short cooking times,
preheating gives best appearance and crispness.
Although preheating is not necessary with meats, it is
