Choose baking pans

Material matters.

4 min read

Pan color and material change how fast things bake and brown.

Good to know

  • Light metal pans bake evenly and are a good all-round choice
  • Dark pans brown faster; check early
  • Glass heats slowly but holds heat; many bakers lower the oven by 25°F
  • Use the pan size the recipe calls for, or scale with our pan converter
  • Never put glass bakeware under the broiler or on a burner
