can you use this for macarons?

Everything I have baked on this sheet has never stuck. Give it a try with a few, then you might know.

I've never made macarons but everything I've baked on it has come out great. No stick and extremely easy to clean. It's heat resistant to 430f.

I never tried that. But I will say, that I'm still using this thing, and I haven't had anything stick to it yet.

I would think that you could, but I don't see the point of it. This device is designed for the baking/broiling of meat. It makes it clean-up somewhat easier than a broiler pan. Since the crockpot is already somewhat easier to clean, I don't think that you'd be doing yourself any favors by using the laurel for this purpose.

1. I wouldn't use it for mac & cheese as the plate that the food sits on has holes and I think you will get the cheese sauce dripping through. It would be better to heat mac & cheese by simply placing a microwave safe cover (such as a plate) over the container it is in & reheat. This will keep it moist while reheating2. I think this steamer works well with foods that need to be steamed that already contain water such as vegetables etc. Dried pasta needs water to be added for cooking so I wouldn't use this steamer for that.3. Never tried it with mac & cheese - don't think it needs to be done this way. A regular container should be enough to cook it in the microwave 1.

I have not tried that, but I would think so. I actually did use it on apples for my dehydrator.

I don't think I'd try to use it for a cake mix. Works great for pudding and whipped cream type things.

VERY well. As you know you need a fine blanched almond meal to produce a superior macaroon. After processing the meal and confectioners sugar together - you will find the sifting a breeze, producing a really nice white result

I never did that myself but I don't think it is a good idea. Macarons does not like grease. My macarons also stick to this sheet. Although, it is a little bit sticky but it came out nice. All you have to do is wait until it completely cool down then lift the sheet up and gently push underneath each macaron. It will still be some tini tiny bits of macaron left sticking on the sheet but it's still ok as long as your macarons still hold the shape. Anyhow, don't spay your sheet with the cooking oil or any kind of grease otherwise your macarons might not raise properly.

I've used it for macaroons and it works beautifully. For even better results, buy a silpat (silicone baking sheet) and they will never stick.

I would say yes to Soups, but I can't imagine using it for Macaroni. Even with soups you would want to be sure to wash it thoroughly so no grease was left on the sides to change the flavor of future water usage.I love this Hot Pot but only use it for boiling water.

No, I don't recommend that. It will dry out the fruit. The nuts will be OK, though.

It can be used with fresh foods, that's primarily what I used it for, such as bananas, strawberries, etc. The size only fits about the amount of a large strawberry, so fresh fruit needs to be cut up before putting it in there. I started with just putting fresh apple sauce in it until my boys got good at sucking the fruit out. It does take some effort to get the fresh fruit out.

I guess you could use it for mashed fruit if it was not too wet.As for crackers, I think you would have to get a thinner nozzle. The others are pretty think.

I don't know if it would be good for macaroons, I haven't used it for that. It would be perfectly appropriate for any recipe that calls for almond meal or almond flour.

Haven't made macaroons yet but from my experience with cooking I would think it would be great.

I purchased it for the french macarons, but I have been using it for any cookies,scones and yes macaroons ! Wait until they have cooled and they will come off easily.

I would imagine that you could. I use it for my meringue cookies. A little goes a long way.

I can think of no reason you could not. It would blend we'll & I find it to not have a strong flavor. Hope this helps.
