Trying to decrease my use of foil

I have a glass nonstick pan - although it is considered "green" and not traditional teflon or whatnot.

I have recently been trying to cook as much as possible in these pans instead of lining stuff with aluminum foil.  I don't know why this didn't occur to me before!

I guess my only question is, is stuff going to cook differently on a glass/ceramic surface compared to metal/foil. 

Re: Trying to decrease my use of foil

  • Glass does conduct heat better, so food may cook slightly faster.

    I like my glass pans. Although I never line anything with foil... I just grease the heck out of any baking pan.

  • Some things might, but not just typical browning and roasting or casseroles.

  • Try setting your oven to about 15* lower and check a little sooner than you otherwise would.  Aside from that (and the previous grease suggestion), you'll probably be pretty happy with your no-foil new baking method!
