In brief

Dark metal baking tins can heat a mixture more intensely than light-coloured tins and make the crust brown sooner.

Useful to know

Dark metal baking tins can heat a mixture more intensely than light-coloured tins and make the crust brown sooner. King Arthur discusses adjusting temperature and checking earlier when making this change. [1]

Baking paper does not necessarily remove every difference between tins. If the exterior is ready before the centre, compare the tin and oven conditions with the original recipe. Do not change the quantity, temperature and tin together on the first attempt. A controlled comparison makes the cause easier to identify.
