Baking tins

Tinplate and glass dishes increase the baking time required
and the cake will not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using
tinplate tins and
%
Top/bottom heat, you should use shelf
position 1.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and
recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone
baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of
mixture and recipe instructions may differ.
If you are baking on one level with
