Take a look at your baking pans. Are any badly scratched or
rusting? Consider replacing them. The same goes for any pans with darkened
spots or baked-on stains. Dark spots can cause uneven baking. Scratches and
rust can make it hard to remove a cake or loaf of bread. I used to bake with
cheap aluminum non-stick pans from the kitchen aisle of the grocery
store. Inevitably someone would dig a muffin or a brownie out with a metal
utensil, leaving a scar that would rust in the dishwasher. I switched to glass
pans, which I love, even though I’ve lost several moving from one house to
another. I’m gradually replacing them with silicone, which is much lighter and can be crammed into nearly any drawer. Another word on glass baking pans: never
place a hot glass baking dish straight from the oven onto a stone countertop.
The results can be explosive!
