I want to make a casserole, but I don't have a readily available casserole dishIs it possible to make in a cake pan?
There is no problem using a cake panI would like to clear up some misinformation that has been raised hereFirst off, it is glass pans that require a 25 degree reduction in baking temperature, not metal onesIn fact, if your pan is made of shiny aluminum, you will need to cook your food for considerably longer than the recipe saysMetal is reflective; stoneware and glass absorb heat more easily Nonstick coatings on baking pans are typically rated to 425-550 degrees, which is considerably hotter than you bake a casseroleThis should be a non-issueOn the other hand, if your pan is non-stick, don't broil food in it As the other poster said, cover your pan with foil if your casserole needs coveringThe shiny foil will probably mean you need to cook your food longer than the recipe says.
It means cloth like denim, or cotton shirt fabric, or flannel fabric that has a crisscross weave to it when you look at it with a magnifying glassIt also has a grain which means that if you pull it with both hands in one direction there is no give to itBut, if you do the same thing at a 45 degree angle to the straight grain, then it will stretch a lotThat is called 'against the grain' of the fabricKnitted fabrics are usually stretchy in all directions and tee shirts and other knit tops and dresses are like that!! : p
