Question:

Cookie sheets and aluminum foil?

This was my first time baking cookies and i forgot to get cookie sheets so i used aluminum foil instead which i greasedi was afraid that the aluminum foil was going to burn the bottoms, and it didI was just curious, will the same thing happen if i use cookie sheets/parchment paper next time??

Answer:

blanket- a large piece of woolen or similar material used for a covering over a bed or warmth comforter- a thick bed covering containing two layers of clothduvet- A soft quilt filled with down, feathers, or a synthetic fiber, used instead of an upper sheet and blankets
Whether cookies and other things will burn or darken too much on their bottom sides only has to do with the temperature they reach on the bottom and how long they're heated Some of the things that will make the bottoms get too hot, or hot faster than the tops, are: .where the baking surface is placed in your particular oven (some bottom coils will heat more than top coils in some ovens.and some ovens may just have hot spots or cool spots if they don't also have forced-air convection to prevent that) .which type of baking surface is used (some materials and even some colors will absorb more heat than others; some cookie sheets actually have a hollow space on their bottoms which insulates the cookie bottoms from too much heat as wellparchment paper will insulate the bottoms of the cookies some too as will sheets of Silpat or other silicone baking surfaces, but you'll still generally want something stiff like a baking sheet to put those things on top of when baking cookies) So if cookies still turn out too burned once you have your baking sheets, raise them higher in the oven on anything you can find (including a wood board, or a few balls of aluminum foil), buy one of the hollow cooking sheets, move the cookies several times while cooking to avoid any hot spots, or you may have to lower the temp set on the dial if the oven is actually getting hotter than it readsYou might also want to be sure and use a baking pan without a lip since that could keep the tops just a little cooler than the bottoms (or just turn it over so you're using the flat side).
