Can this be used as a grease lift (baking rack) too when separated, or will the coating melt?

I still have the box the cooling racks came in but it doesn't say what they're made of! My guess is they're aluminum or chrome and with that being said I don't know if they could withstand the heat using them as a baking rack, but you have 3 of them so you could chance it if you wanted to. Hope this helps.

Dear Hector, Thank you for your inquiry. It is recommended to lightly grease and dust with flour, as it will assist the product to release from the pan evenly. Thank you for allowing me to assist you with your inquiry. Kind Regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

There is no added coating to this product. My experience has been that this mold works very well with non-baked goods (i.e. melted chocolate that then sets when chilled in the fridge). However, when using this in the oven to bake things like cakes or brownies, even adding non-stick spray does not prevent sticking.

In high temperature applications, the carrier will evaporate off by design. It will leave the fine metallic particular that will prevent mating surfaces from binding. It isn't really a lubricant at this point but it would still allow easy disassembly later.

I would definitely melt it. It has a wax like consistency so it would be quite difficult to whip up. This seller is great because they send you recipes as to what u can mix and use it for.

I don't see why you couldn't. There is nothing on it that could melt. I only use mine for stock and it is the perfect size for that. I really love this piece of cookware. May be a bit thinner than most Dutch ovens so could brown more around the edges.

Id say NO, but I haven't tried to melt it that way. I think it needs a slow melt down. But contact the seller, he will answer all your quastions

Yes. I use on rimmed baking sheets so that food does not sit directly on the baking sheet (like pork chops or chicken) that way the grease drains off the food, heat circulates above and below the food, and the food doesn't stick to the baking sheet.

The rack is safe when you are baking food in the oven that you do not want submerged in food oil. You can also, cool baked goods on it.

Decided to try this after reading the question. Yes it can. However, you may want to cover the pan with aluminum foil if you don't like a messy cleanup. Tried it without the aluminum foil - they came out nice and crispy, however, since they had a coating, the coating stuck to the pan.

The edges are not high enough for anything with grease (Bacon, sausage) and you would not get good heat distribution between the burners. I would not recommend this for any purpose other than using it with the equipment it was designed for. Safety first.

I'm sorry. I bought it as a gift for my daughter, so it isn't here with me. I did use it at her apartment, and I can say it's big (so it can get heavy, but the two handles makes it easy to lift), and it works well. You don't need dangerous non-stick coatings - the tri-ply was great even for pancakes. (Follow the directions for heating.)

I would contact the manufacturer. It might melt if the temps are above 400. I sit hot pots on it after removing from the stove...but I would think a hot plate and oven might put off higher temps.

Yes, the components come apart easily to clean. I use this for olive and canola oil only. Would I trust it to melted butter? I would be worried how quickly it would congeal, but for the low cost, this unit is the best possible choice IMO. Worth a try.

I don't think so! I agree with John Farago. BTW, I use mine to melt melt & pour soap and it's great! I tried to make custard with a new one, and it really stuck to the bottom. You should really find a cute little Bain Marie or double boiler that has a non-stick coating to cook anything that will stick. Hope this helps you! Another BTW: -- that is a good price!! When I was first looking for a double boiler I saw one for $85 or more, then I bought one from a small cookware company (can't remember the name) which was around the price for this.

It's rather flimsy to use without something more sturdy underneath it. I do use it on a cookie sheet but it should be able to withstand being placed on the rack.

I use a "peel". I never lift the stome out of the oven when it is hot. Hope this helps.
