1, how many baking pans do I need?

Generally when you buy an oven, it comes with a baking sheet, but according to my personal experience, the baking sheet that comes with the oven is not very good at keeping water away from the oven, and it is not easy to take off the mold, and there is not much guarantee for the quality of the baking sheet. So, it's better to have another baking tray, so that you can start preparing the second tray when you bake the first tray, if you can't fit the first tray in the oven.

The baking of the beginning of the equipment | tools Part I: must know a few points before the purchase of baking pans!

There is a topic in the Knowledge Channel, "Why is it that rectangular baking pans tend to burn the corners and edges of the pan, while round pans are more evenly heated and less prone to burn the edges?" If you have time, you can also go to the search, there is a very professional answer below.

The general explanation of the reason is this:

Square baking pan four corners because of the curvature of the larger, there is the tip of their heat distribution gradient there will be a great value, heating faster. And the round baking pan has continuous rotational symmetry, that is, no matter how many degrees you turn, it can return to itself. This determines that his heat distribution must also be angularly uniform, so in the case of a certain total energy, there is no square disk all the individual points are heated particularly large phenomenon.

There are also friends who believe that the second law of thermodynamics and the equations of heat conduction should be based on the finite element method to be argued.

But no matter what method is used, the final conclusion is that "a round baking sheet is more evenly heated than a square baking sheet, and is less likely to burn the edges"!

I personally recognize that "square baking pans are easy to bake the four corners and edges while round baking pans are more evenly heated and less prone to bake the edges", this is a personal experience. Just started baking with the oven comes with a rectangular baking sheet, each baking will appear four corners of the cookie color is darker, but also often baked, and then update the equipment, replaced the round baking sheet copied out of the whole plate of cookies on the color of the more uniform, to send a friend to taste is also more face, haha.

3, the baking tray to choose what material is safe and good to use?

The main points of the purchase of the baking tray is the material safety, even heat transfer good, non-stick non-stick easy to clean.

At present, there are mainly silicone baking pan, glass baking pan, ceramic baking pan, aluminum baking pan and carbon steel baking pan of these materials.

① Silicone baking tray:

The appearance of the color to win, coupled with non-stick, non-stick, easy to clean, but also become more popular baking tray material. But the biggest flaw of silicone is security, even if the use of food silicone, but the high temperature decomposition of silicone oil may contain phthalates, is a harmful substance to the human body. Choose carefully!

② Glass baking dish:

Value pie, easy to clean, high temperature resistance in general, and ordinary glass baking dish there will be the risk of output lead, it is recommended to choose a specialized brand. Germany's WECK, Japan's Iwaki heat-resistant glass baking dish are trustworthy.

③ Ceramic baking dish:

and glass baking dish as high value is the biggest feature, high heat resistance, up to 800 ℃. But ceramic by high temperature will produce harmful substances, and relatively heavy. If you want to buy or recommended to choose a big brand. France Le Creuset gloss and color sense is a good representative.

④ Aluminum alloy baking dish:

More popular with the public, thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, can be molded in one piece to facilitate cleaning. But there are also people worried about aluminum alloy in high temperature baking will have aluminum ion precipitation, and excessive intake of aluminum elements easily cause dementia. But don't worry, you can choose to use the anodic oxidation process of aluminum alloy baking pan, metal surface is more stable, safer. But the price point is also slightly higher. The chiffon mold of Japan Bay Print is representative.

⑤ Carbon steel baking pan:

Relative to aluminum baking pan, carbon steel baking pan is safer. In addition to thermal conductivity outside a little inferior, corrosion resistance, easy to clean and other aspects of performance and aluminum alloy are comparable.

Carbon steel baking pan is safer than aluminum baking pan.
