Do you have to wrap it in a towel because the inside would melt from the hot casserole pan? This happened to me with a cheaper version.

I gave these to both my mother and mother in law for gifts. They both love them and said they do not worry about the lining. It is a rugged material, but I don't know how to describe it! I hope this helps.

I put a towel under a baked dish to keep the dish from sliding, but I don't think it would melt without the towel.

when used in microwave do you keep covered the whole time food is being warmed

We had one that melted but another has lasted over a year. If you take the bacon off the rack right after it comes out of the micro, it shouldn't be a problem.

Your going to have to melt it first but it melts at 98° so it melts rather quickly n then u can blend it with other things or leave it on its own if u wish n whip it I promise it is no pain n so luxurious mine turned out heavenly on its own its too hard to whip without melting first

No. But, I have found that not to be a problem. It has such an effective non-stick surface, that the hardest thing I have to do is brush out a few crumbs with a paper towel after it cools.

No problem with mine after my sister reminded me to remove it from the wrapper. Takes half an hour to fully warm.

Yes but do not place a cloth between the pizza and the metal, a thick dinner napkin was too much for rolls I was trying to keep warm without burning them

I baked directly in the pan. I'm not sure how the cooking might be affected using a dish inside the pan.

Yes, you use your pot or dish with a cover to keep in the heat for casseroles and meats. For breads and some other foods you don't use a cover. You want to use a thin dark metal pan that will heat quickly and cook fast. Walmart has a great selection of pans. They are usually blue with specks.

You're right, a paper towel works nicely. I like this because I don't burn myself when cleaning the panini machine grills, and they get very hot. Your choice in the end.

yes I think it will melt!!!!yes it is removable but not sure the pan would hold up in a toaster oven

You have to use it with parchment paper or plastic wrap anyways. I seasoned mine just so it won't rust when I wash it.

I used one inside a pan used to cook in here. The part of the liner that touched the cooker melted. Perhaps it depends on how high the temp is, but I've not used a liner since then. Of course, we typically use it only at holidays.

No. That wasn't an issue at all. I cooked chili in it and took it to a church for my son's team meal (football). I didn't slop any chili, burn myself, or anything. I did put it on a towel in a laundry basket, but the bands held the lid on well. I really like mine a lot. Just watch the temp. I ruined a whole pot of soup by setting it on warm instead of low. Warm is to keep hot soup warm. Low is for cooking.

The interior is plastic so, tho I haven't used it for hot, I think if hot dishes are wrapped in something like a towel, it would work great.

If mine said that, I missed it. However, the only time I'd use high (highest) heat is to bring water to a boil quickly. Otherwise, I keep the heat turned down a bit. Use your judgement. It's stainless steel, so you don't have to worry about the pan melting :) But while we're on the subject, I must warn you that the cover pull gets blistering hot. I did replace it w/ another pull that I took off a cover I wasn't using. Other than that, I like my pan.

NO this is plastic food wrap and should never be used in the oven, it will melt.
