HOW TO CARE FOR
BAKEWARE
Most everyone takes
creative pride in turning out
quality baked goods in their
kitchens. We all know that
temperature is critical to the
results of our efforts.
However, do you know that
the bakeware you use also
plays a very important role
in how your recipe will turn
out.
Bakeware is made of
aluminum, heat-resistant
glass and ceramics,
enameled metals, tin,
stainless steel, cast iron or
earthenware. The selection
of a utensil for baking should
fit the recipe. In too small a
pan the batter of dough will
overflow. If the pan is too
large, contents will bake too
hard and fast.
Shiny metal pans reflect
heat and produce products
with a light crust. Dull or
darkened bakeware, glass
utensils, and those with a
colored extenor finish ab
sorb heat and generally
produce baked goods with a
darker crust. You should

Quality Built to Last Longer
reduce the oven temperature
by 25 degrees F. when
baking in any of these pans.
Aluminum utensils may
develop stains and
discolorations. These can be
removed by boiling a
solution of two to three
tablespoons of lemon juice,
vinegar or cream of tartar to
a quart of water m the
utensil for five to 10 minutes.
Then scour, rinse, and dry.
A commercial stainless
steel cleaner will help
remove stubborn burn
marks on the interior of
stainless steel bakeware. It
will also help rid the utensil
of “heat tint”, the rainbow
like discoloration caused by
high heat.
Cast iron pans should be
pre-seasoned before use.
Wash the utensil, rinse and
dry. Coat the inside surface
with cooking oil or shor
tening. Heat in a moderate
oven for about two hours.
After removing the
bakeware, wipe away the
excess grease with a paper
towel. Hot sudsy water is all
that is needed for subsequent
care. Tho rough drying is
important to prevent
rusting. To re-season cast
iron, scour the utensil and
repeat the seasoning
procedure. Cast iron utensils
with porcelain enamel in
teriors do not need
seasoning.
Tin darkens with use and
age; the process is
irreversible. Therefore, the
baking qualities of tin will
change. A dark pan will yield
a much browner product
than a shiny tinned pan. Tin
does have a tendency to
warp if subjected to sudden
temperature changes and a
warped pan will not bake
evenly.
Many bakeware interiors
are coated with a non-stick
finish. Generally, besides
washing, these should be
conditioned before initial use
by rubbing with cooking oil;
be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instruction.
Do not oil a tubed angel food
cake pan. Angel food batter
must cling to the sides of the
pan during baking.
Most manufacturers

letommend using nylon,
hard rubber, plastic or
wooden kitchen tools on non
stick finishes, glass and
aluminum to prevent
scratching the surface. A
nylon or plastic scrubber
and suds can be used to help
remove burned-on foods.
Scratching or bakeware
finishes can also be limited
by storing the pans singly in
vertical slots or by placing
paper towels between them.
Get the most out of your
bakeware. Choose durable
utensils in sizes suited to
your baking needs. Be sure
you use recommended
temperatures. Remember
that your bakeware will last
longer with proper care, for
many a homemade treat!

correctly after each use.
Avoid letting paint harden
and dry on the implements.
Use a rounded stick to
scrape off excess paint onto
newspapers. For oil-based
paint, clean in brush cleaner
or mineral spirits. Then
wash brushes or rollers in
detergent or soap suds. If
you use latex paint, simply
wash tools in sudsy water.
Work bristles between
thumb and forefinger to coax
paint from the heel of a
brush. Suds the nap of a

Rinse. Comb brush bristles
with a metal comb to
prevent matting. Handle
brushes by the handles;
place rollers on pegs or
