You know how they tell you it matters whether....

.... you use a bright pan or a dark one? Well, today I used the oven method to cook bacon for the first time. I had an aluminum cookie sheet full of bacon and a dark cookie sheet. The dark sheet bacon cooked in about half the time of the aluminum sheet, even though they were switched from middle to top shelves in the middle.

So "they" are right.

How many of you have believed this advice from the get-go?

Of course I almost never bake. So it probably doesn't apply in many other situations.
