11 COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Cooking Conditions Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food. Condition Aging cookware High altitude Attributes As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly. Air is drier and air pressure is lower. Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster. Foods may take longer to bake. Doughs may rise faster. Recommendation If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging. If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging. Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed. Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes. Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation. Increase bake time or oven temperature. Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice.
