Baking Pan Substitutions

Don't have the correct baking pan called for in the recipe? Not to worry, here is a quick and handy reference guide for pan substitutions. General rule of thumb, select a slightly larger pan, never a smaller pan. The baking time will also change, check for signs of doneness.

Glass Baking Pans: Reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees when baking in a glass baking dish. Glass bakeware conducts and retains heat

Dark Metal Baking Pans: Reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees when using dark metal pans. Dark metal heats up and retains heat better than light metal pans.
