Light Aluminum Baking Pans Vs Dark Ones
Decorating By mrshicks2002 Updated 5 Jul 2007 , 12:45pm by mrshicks2002
I was wondering is there a difference in the dark pans and light pans when baking cakes. I have only been using a dark coated non stick 13x9 pan. I use the wilton cake release, bake at 325 and my cakes still get too done around the edges and the bottom and some pieces still will stick to the pan. I was told that it could be because of the dark pan that I am baking with and I also have an electric oven.
I also see that wilton sale light pans.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Yep. It does make a difference, as you learned. Dark pans will produce a darker crust, which is why black cast iron is so perfect for cornbread.
I would suggest getting regular light pans for cakes and save the dark ones to use as dipping vessels when making fried chicken. 
Thanks everyone for the replies as I will only be using light pans now.
