Cooking Tips
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.

Preheating
In most cases, you should preheat the oven before baking. For delicate bak-
ing (such as puff pastries or souffles), preheat approximately 15–20 min-
utes before placing food inside oven or wait 10 minutes after oven signal
beeps before placing food in oven. The extra time creates a more stable
oven temperature.
