Darker browning of food caused by dull or dark bakeware - Lower oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or move rack to a higher position in the oven. Lighter browning of food caused by shiny or light colored bakeware - Move rack to a lower position in the oven. Batter distributed unevenly in pan - Check that batter is level in the pan. Incorrect length of cooking time was used - Adjust cooking time. Oven door was not closed - Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing. Oven door was opened during cooking - Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer cooking times. Rack is too close to bake burner, making baked items too brown on bottom - Move rack to higher position in the oven. Pie crusts browning too quickly - Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce baking temperature. 20
