Chart
1.
Aluminum
pans
conduct
heat
quickl
y.
For
most
conventional
baking
light shiny finishes generally give best results because
they
help
prevent
o
ver
browning
in
the
time
it takes
for
he
at
to
cook
the
center
areas
. Dull (satin-finish)
bottom
surfaces
of
pans
are
recom-
mended
for
cake
pans
and
pie plates
to
be
sure
those
areas
brown
completely.
2.
Dark
or
non-shiny
finishes,
also
glass
and
pyroceram,
generally
absorb
heat
which
may
result in
dr
y, crisp crusts.
