prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-

Important note:
• Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark, over browned, or under cooked
foods. To prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time of some foods.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
• Breads will have better results baking on a single oven rack.
