Has anyone used this tray for baking? What sorts of things would you bake in this shape/form?

We used this tray to melt and re-form broken crayons. It withstood the heat well and worked great. Ron Romig

I have only used it for ice. There's a delicacy called 'lady fingers' a kind of bread stick. Might work.

Honestly I did not buy it for cooking....I bought it to put in a bird feeder my husband build but the birds hatted it because it was shiny....Seems to be really heavy duty so I dont think it will warp in the oven. I would buy it again if I needed to :-D

Hello! I bake on both sides. One side is slightly better it seems, but found no difference when baking goods.

I did use it to bake some cakes. I followed the same baking instructions as I do for any mini cupcake silicone bake molds. Unfortunately the cakes didn't pop out very well due the type of batter I used. Unless it is an extremely dense cake or brownie batter it won't come out easily or have any real detail to it. I mostly use them for making chocolates and flan now.

I have bought the aluminum baking trays, the small ones fit perfect! some can allow the use of two at a time. I have also heated caned foods. I have never put food directly into the unit due to not wanting to have the clean up. I have also made some frozen dinners like ground beef and.... whatever. these take longer to heat but the unit gets very hot. Be careful not to burn you food.I do live this thing. this is my 2nd one. I dropped the first one and broke it. I have been using them for over 10 years.

I never did but I don't see why not it is an oven, basically. Don't let it touch the top housing... I hope this helps.

I bought this as a gift for my Friend. However, I do not have experience baking in this cake pan. My Friend says her cakes come out fine. If it were me, I would probably still cut out a piece of parchment paper the size of the bottom. In the old days with regular aluminum cake pans, people would cut a piece of wax paper and put it at the bottom. So, I don't know what else to tell you other than perhaps go back to the greasing pan and then flour method. I wouldn't grease it heavy though. I wish I could be more helpful.

This is a somewhat clueless question, since I don't yet own this item (am buying today, though). Can you just line the peeled tray with something else, like a piece of silicone baking cup (cupcake size) or aluminum foil, cut down to size? Obviously, that's not the ideal option but maybe will serve as a last resort, if replacement trays are not available. I hope my tray will survive but I'll plan on getting the silicone washable cupcake cups as a back up.

I love the pan because it is very heavy metal. Not cheap stuff. I would think banana bread would be good if you want it square. I like mine in a bundt pan that has a little shape. I used it for an oversides pound cake.Hope this helps.Donna

The baking tray is 6" deep and 10.25" wide. There is 3" room above the tray to the upper limit of the oven area.

I have never thought to used it for baking bread.. where do you find recipes?

Although I bought this last month, I still haven't taken it out of the box. Although, I can answer the question about the racks... it comes with 2 wire racks that can be used in various positions, as the instruction manual says. It also comes with a baking tray. I assume it can handle half-sheet pans since it's pretty big. Hope this helps.

You can put a round in the bottom (I got precut rounds from King Arthur Flour), but I haven't had a need to do so. If you want to use parchment paper, I'd suggest going with a standard pan. The edges of these slope slightly from the top to the bottom. The scraper does do a very neat job of releasing both bottom and sides.

Yes, I think the tray could be used for making chocolate covered blueberries - great idea!

These are meant mainly for molding/forming food but they are pretty sturdy and made of stainless steel which takes high heat so I imagine they could be baked in except there is no bottom to this one so all your batter would ooze out the bottom. They do make similar items with removable bottoms that are meant for baking in though.

I would not buy it unless you remove it when you use the oven. After using the oven twice it warped and will not last flat. Better off with a t-shaped over of aluminum

Yes, you can. The tray that comes with the oven is slightly larger than 9 x 11 inches and the interior of the oven is pretty spacious. I've only had it for about 2 weeks and have used it several times already. I do find that I have to cook/bake things longer than in a normal oven. I like it a lot. Hope this helps!
