I've made 3 now trying to get the dimensions to suit me and now I'm thinking I need two layers of insulbrite instead of one which was used in the pattern I went by. I tried one out last night on a pan of cornbread from a 450 deg. oven and I think it needs a tad more insulation.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386388066709376768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-13950068843903598082011-12-09T23:12:18.552-05:002011-12-09T23:12:18.552-05:00Glad you didn't burn yourself.
