Do you need to use tin foil with granite-ware or is it safe to use it without tin foil let me know
322376
It's perfectly safe to use without tin foil. The pan has a baked enamel surface that resembles granite thus the name.

We use it both with and without depending on how messy it is. It has an enamel surface but is not non-stick so things will still stick depending on what you're baking.

Dale in answer to your question about using foil the answer is no it is not necessary. The only reason you would opt to use foil is only to keep your pan clean if cooking something with a high fat or sugar content thus eliminating the lenghty clean up time. In that case you could either use foil or parchment paper.

I bought these granite-ware pans in the first place to AVOID aluminum! My partner hates aluminum cookware and stainless steel in this size is very expensive. We use it in our Toaster Oven. This from WebMD: "One of the most publicized and controversial theories concerns aluminum, which became a suspect in Alzheimer's disease when researchers found traces of this metal in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease." This stuff is iron sprayed with a food safe enamel and baked to cure (I used to do hobby ceramics). When I clean it, I use a stainless steel pot scratcher and Comet Cleanser to remove any baked on cooking oil and then wash it as normal with dish soap (cleanser will leave a residue). The pot scratcher/cleanser routine does not harm the baked enamel surface, nor will a steel wool pad. I have many pieces of granite ware baking pans and we love them, just a little olive oil spray and they are good to go!

I returned the granite-ware due to a defect which caused a very bad cut on my hand.gb

I don't have the answer to that. We probably should contact the company. Good question. I just know that using glass is safer than using ceramic and glazed products.

I've used my Graniteware canner many times on my glass top stove with no problems. You should not drag it across the glass which may be tempting to do. I've never seen this warning before for Graniteware hot water bath canners. I've seen this warning for for pressure canners though as I have an All American Pressure Canner that warns not to use on glass top stoves as it may be too heavy and crack it. I've never used my pressure canner on the glass top stove for this reason.

I usually use a piece of parchment paper under my cast iron pans to keep them from scratching the surface of my induction cooktop. I'm sure the type that has glass over heating elements would burn parchment though. Induction+Lodge=match made in heaven.

Yes the lid is oven safe and I am happy . And you do not need to use foil. And if I needed another pan I would get the same one over and over I bought 3 and I do enjoy .and if we are barqueting I will use it outside to put my carne asana ,chicken hot dogs, ect and it says warm I hope I could answer your questions

You could use foil but totally not necessary. However like all cast iron, you can't wash it after use because everything will stick to it. It has to stay seasoned, which means just scraping it and wiping it with a paper towel.

Hello Kevin - I don't think this will be an issue, we use ours all the time in a regular convection oven. As long as you are not putting more than 500 deg.s F directly on to the pan it should work just fine. We have had ours for well over a year now and they look as good as new...just soak them overnight to loosen off any really tough baked-on residue then wash them in warm soapy water the next day, it all comes right off. We are converts to GraniteWare - no more "Bakers Secret" non-stick for us (the secret is - they suck!).

Yes. As long as it fits inside. It won't absorb heat as effectively as the darker granite wear, but the hot air within the oven will eventually heat it up and get the job done. So it may take longer to start the cooking process, using aluminum.

I would say no, since the manufacturer does not specify it bonding to granite.

Thank you for your question. I am the manufacturer of this product. You can use this for testing granite counter tops, however, the EPA believes this type of testing is unnecessary. The reason for this is that radon inside of granite is not a health hazard - only radon in the air is a significant health hazard. It is possible for radon to escape granite and enter your air, however, this is very rare. The vast majority of homes with radon problems are those where the radon is entering the home through the foundation. We recommend testing your air first. If the radon level in your air is high, it is possible that granite counter tops are the source. But this is a very rare occurrence. If you wish to test your counter tops, you can purchase two test kits. Place them about 6 inches apart on your counter tops. Place a plastic or glass bucket over one of these test kits to cover it, so that there is air trapped between the counter top and the bucket with the kit in between. If the result of the test under the bucket is higher than the result of the test exposed to open air, your counter top may be emitting radon. Again, this is generally a very rare problem and we don't recommend testing via this method, but you can if you wish. It is also possible for you to call the person who manufactured or installed your counter tops to see if they have been tested for radiation prior to being installed. Very few counter tops are radioactive in any meaningful form.

Does not say use for granite. States not to use on counter tops. I use it on white sinks and it works great.

I spray pan with Pam and it cleans up very well. I would not use foil or anything else. Soak with hot sudsy water for a short while and pan will clean up beautifully.

Lead free yes. as for the other I don't know. Also I love my granite ware and wouldn't use anything else

I did not add granite countertop for two reasons:1) it looks so beautiful itself, no need for granite 2) there is a table extension on the back of this picture, it would be hard to add granite to it, I recently changed my countertop to granite without touching this piece. It matches my oak hardwood cabinet perfectly

Wish I could answer your question but I really don't know right now. I am planning on either building a new top or replacing it with granite. I am favoring making the butcher block top which I have already done for my daughter and I love it. But right now I can't help you as I have not removed the top yet.

I am pretty sure they would not make a granite cleaner/polisher with anything that would harm granite. Imagine the law suit!!!!! Second, I have been using this on my granite weekly for over a year and it is one of the best!!! I highly recommend it!! Thanks

Depends what is on the granite - but generally no. And, no to glass. Use Windex on glass or some other product made for glass. Spray nine will leave smears on really shinny things. It is a great cleaner for dirt and oilly things.
