Question on baking dishes

pattikake

Hi Everyone,

I only use throw away alumin pans they are get but expensive to use, can I use my glass 9x13 pans or my reg 9x 13 pans? Thanks in advance.

I've used glass baking dishes and ceramic dishes with no issues. Clean up can be a chore sometimes.

think of your egg as an outdoor oven. ...if it works in your oven, it will work in your egg. . .of course in the case of ceramic or glass bakewear, if you let it get exposed to direct heat, or let the temps get away from you, it will crack or break in the egg. . ..but so long as it is protected properly, i.e. has the proper heat barrier between the fire and the dish, and you control the temps properly, it will be fine ...i've used pyrex, corning wear, le creuset, all kinds of ceramic dishes, french white, souffle bowls, etc, in the egg with no problem. .. some have smoke stains on it after a lot of use over the years, but who cares, thats what its for. .. i don't have cookwear to show off, i have good cookwear to cook with!!

hey Patti,
We use the aluminum when we travel. At home,it's the pyrex, or regular baking pans, or stoneware. Treat the BGE just like your oven.

Just about anything you use in an oven you can use in an Egg. I mostly use CI dutch ovens & pans. I have also used regular muffin tins, cake pans and pyrex glass wear.

ive used glass, corning, earthen clay, soapstone, steel, enameled cast iron, and regular cast iron, and aluminum. ive even made bowls of bread and tortillas to bake in, its all good. my favorite is just a castiron skillet as it just gets blacker with use in an egg

I use mostly cast iron, but anything will do. Just a little harder to clean up, but like Max said, Who Cares

The Egg does not... :laugh:

Serious all the suggestions were good..

If clean up is an issue on non cast iron than coat the outside with a light layer of dish soap. The soap will prevent the black from sticking. Just be careful not to get any really close to the food. This trick will work for enameled cast iron too..
