Bakers & Roasters – Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best material for baking dishes?
Metal trays heat up quickly for golden crusts, while ceramic and glass ensure even, consistent baking. Choose based on your recipe and heat preference.
Which material works best for roasting?
Stainless steel and aluminium roasting pans offer excellent heat control, giving your roast a perfect golden finish while keeping the inside juicy.
Can I use the same pan for baking and roasting?
Yes, as long as the pan is oven-safe and deep enough to hold liquids or sauces. Many high-quality roasters also work perfectly for baking.
Do glass and metal bake differently?
Glass holds heat longer for even cooking, while metal heats faster and promotes crisp textures. Each brings a different style to your baking results.
Are roasting pans with lids useful?
Lids help lock in steam and moisture for tender, juicy roasts. For crisp tops, remove the lid halfway through to let the dish brown beautifully.
How do I clean my baking or roasting tray?
Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid harsh scrubbers or chemicals that could scratch or damage non-stick coatings.
Are bakers and roasters dishwasher-safe?
Most are, but hand-washing extends their life and keeps the surface smooth. Always check care instructions before washing.
What size roaster should I buy?
Choose a size that suits your oven and meal portions. Small roasters are great for daily meals, while large ones are ideal for family feasts.
Why does my tray bend in the oven?
Thin metal trays may flex under heat but usually return to normal once cooled. This is harmless and doesn’t affect cooking results.
What’s the best material for a coffee roaster drum?
Stainless steel offers excellent heat balance and durability for consistent coffee roasting. It’s corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain.
