If you find foods are too brown on top, try moving them down next time.
USING THE OVEN: Cookware Guidelines / Cooking Modes Cookware Guidelines The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance. ■ Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than the minimum cook time.
