Tips for Baking and Browning
- Ensure the appliance is level. This will ensure the batter is being distributed evenly in the pan
- Don't open the door. Frequent door opening during cooking releases oven heat and can result in longer cooking times.
- Use the correct bakeware. Dark, dull pans absorb heat which results in darker browning. Shiny pans reflect heat which results in lighter browning
- If your baked goods are not cooked or brown on the bottom, try using a lower rack position. Shiny and insulated pans may require additional time and/or need to be closer to the bake element.
- If your baked goods too brown on top, but undercooked on the bottom, this could be caused by not allowing the oven to fully pre-heat. Not thoroughly preheating the oven can cause excessive top heat to the food and result in over-browning on top.
