Baking PansUse the proper baking pan. The type of finish on thepan determines the amount of browning that will occur.c Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes andct)okies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking inglass baking dishes. the temperature may need to bereduced by 25°F.

● If you are using dmk non-stick pans, you may findthat you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.to prevent overbrowning.”

Pan PlacementFor even cmking and proper browning. there must bcenough room for air circulation in the oven. Bakingresults will be better if baking pans are centered asmuch as possible rather than being placed to the frontor to the back t]f the oven.Pans should not touch each other or the walls of theoven. Allow 1- to I K-inch space between pans as wellas from the back of the oven, the dot)r and the sides.If you need to use twn shelves, stagger the pans so(]ne is not directly above the other.

Baking GuidesWhen using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructi(]nsfor the best baking results.

CookiesWhen baking cookies, tlat cookie sheets (withf)utsides) prtiuce better-looking cookies. Cookies bakedin a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may havedarker edges and pale or light browning may occur.D() not use a cookie sheet so large that it tou$hes thewalls {)r the door of the oven. Never entirely covera shelf with a large cookie sheet.For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the ovenat a time.

Pies CakesFor best results, bake pies in dmk, rough or dull pans When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will causeto produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil uneven baking results and p(mrly shaped p~~ducts.pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipefor baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drierfrom the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it. than it should be.

Use of Aluminum FoilYou can usc aluminum foil to line your broiler panand brt)iler r~ck. However, you must mold the foiltightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meatjuices fmm draining into the broiler pan. The juicescould become hot enf)ugh to catch on fire. If you d(]not cut the slits, you are frying. not broiling.

Questions and AnswersO. When broiling, is it nece~n b always ~~e a Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

rack in the P-n?A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the A.

pan. As the meat c~ks, the juices fall into the pan,thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by therack and stay cwler, thus preventing excessivespatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evapordte. Always salt after cooking. Piercing themeat with a fork also allows the juices to escape.Turn the meat with tongs instead of a fork.

the meat from sticking?No. The broiler rack is designed to retlcct bmilcrheat, thus keeping the surface cof)l cn{~ugh toprevent the meat from sticking to the surface.Huwever, spraying the broiler rack lightly with avegetable c[~oking spray before cooking will makeclean-up easier.

24

—-—

~lways use the broiler pan and rack that comes withyour oven. It is designed to minimize smoking andspattering by trapping the juices in the shieldedlower part of the pan.

. Broiling should always be done with the ovendoor closed.
