The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness,
conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the
way they transmit heat to the food inside
them:
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware
and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking
and underneath browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized
aluminium, aluminium with non-stick
interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and
underneath browning.
