BEST USED FOR
GUIDELINES
•
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies
or casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack
below. Foil should be
turned up at edges and
be at least 1 inch larger
than dish.
•
Do not cover the
entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce
air circulation and give
you poor cooking
results.
•
Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other liners.
It could affect the oven surface as well as the
quality of your baking.
•
Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry
to slow down surface browning for long term
roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.
•
Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if
browning too quickly.
