Underbaked bottoms?
Recently got some new smaller pans that don't fill the entire surface area of my oven and this is the most perfect looking batch I've ever gotten as far as no cracked shells and they all got feet.
However, I baked them same as I normally did with the larger pans, 285°F for 20 minutes with a rotation at 10 minutes in. The first batch was totally underbaked so I put the second and third in for longer at 30 minutes and they still had these slightly sticky cakey bottoms rather than smooth shiny like I normally get with silicone mats (4th pic is what I've gotten previously).
Would this be solved with longer bake times at lower heat? Or shorter bake times at higher heat? Or is this because the pans were new and hadn't been "broken in" yet? They were Hongbake 16"x14" flat trays.
