10. Tap pan against countertop a few times to settle air bubbles in the batter.
11. Place in pre-heated oven; make sure temperature really is 500 on the oven thermometer.
12. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
13. Turn oven down to 200 degrees. Bake for 60 minutes longer.
14. Bake until edges are dry and center looks damp and slightly more jiggly than Jell-o.
