The Impact of Bakeware on Baking Success

Choosing the right bakeware is crucial for achieving perfect baking results. Dark-colored pans are a common mistake as they absorb heat quickly, leading to overcooked edges even when the center appears done. Many novice bakers blame themselves or the recipe instead of considering their bakeware. Light-colored metal pans or anodized aluminum are recommended for more even baking results.
