Is the stainless steel top cold enough to serve as a good surface for making pie crusts/pastries?

It is cooler than the other counter services in the kitchen. However I am in the southwest and nothing is really that cool.

Its not a very think piece of stainless. We only use it for looks. It dents very easy and is a pain to clean. Like I said, its nice to loom at.

Better than Formica, but not wide enough. The cart construction is not strong. The drawers can't hold much nor heavier items like batteries. Like the look but disappointed in the quality

Yes, just avoid the glass top ovens with this guy. Be sure you clean it well before storing it and don't let it sit in water for too long or it will rust.

That's a fairly typical temp for pie crust - I wouldn't hesitate, especially with a metal pan.

It's a slick surface, but just like any surface- wood, formica countertop, plastic or stone, you're going to need to flour it... the dimensions- as noted in the title are only 10x15- so you're probably not going to want to roll pie dough on it- but if you're rolling for pasta- it's probably going to be fine so long as you flour it properly...

Totally, that's how I warm up my meat pies. I bake and freeze....though you want to make sure that they are only *cold* when they go in the toaster oven. Not frozen...tempered or not it could break them.

It has been years since I used a metal pie pan. I can tell you that I notice no difference, the crust always bakes and stays crisp even in a deep dish apple pie. And the clean up is a breeze with Corelle. I don't alter the oven temperature even though it is considered a glass dish. For most baking such as cakes I do but not for pie.

I did make a pumpkin pie in that pan. The bottom crust was nice, and was cooked through. I really like the pan. I bought 2 of them! They are good pans.

I have no idea, it isn't something you would think of using to make a pie crust, but I suppose if you combined it with the right binders it would work.. I'm not sure it would be that satisfactory. I used it as mosltly a suppliment

I will try it. I have a glass top range I could heat it up to use as bread warmer. Get back to me in 2 weeks.

I've touched mine to my pizza steel with my oven at max temp. I think it should be fine to use provided it isn't there for any length of time.

i believe so. seems big enough for at least casserole pans. i've only used it for cold items so far

I love this pan for chicken/turkey pot pies. I cook them just enough for the crust to set. I take them out of the pan and freeze them when cool.

Yes, it is great for mince pies. That is what I got it for. Not too deep and makes a nice small pie.

it is stainless steel so I would assume so -- we use a pizza screen so it hasn't been a problem.

yes ,barely not the best surface for this product. Normally the stove/cook top will have specs that are provided when new purchase. Find on line if second hand or already in house when you purchased. Usually only wants stainless steel no sandwiches of copper for induction tops.

Yes! It's wonderful! Be sure to first preheat it on HIGH for a while otherwise you won't get a good sear on meat. I think today's glass cooktops are made with "gorilla glass" so they can withstand just about anything.

Yes it can be used for both cold and hot foods. The stainless steel on this mold is thick. I have used it in oven many times to bake. I have used it at 375 degree, I think u can bake at higher temperature too. They are bottomless. Hope this helps.
