Purchased to use in my electric smoker, now used so much more.
After reading some recipes that talked about smoking some meat in a smoker using a baking pan like this I decided to try this out. The rack sits in the pan and lifts up whatever you are cooking so the smoke can cover everything. It also keeps the drippings right in the pan under the rack. Did all of that and worked well. Nice to just bring the pan in from the smoker and pour off the drippings to use for gravy, etc. It keeps the bottom of the smoker cleaner - and it's nicer to just have to clean this rack and pan instead of cleaning off the racks of my smoker. Smoke still coats the rack and pan. But it cleans off pretty easily - easier than cleaning the racks in my smoker, probably due to the non-stick coating. I'll be using this tray for most of the food I smoke now. Edit- I absolutely love these. I started using one of the pans for my oven. The idea of having to bake a vegetable (or anything else) and flip over mid cooking makes me cringe. I line the tray with parchment paper. Use the rack and slice squash, cube eggplant with partial skin left on, slice up bell peppers, asparagus - just about any vegetable you can bake. Usually I do 450 degrees for 30 minutes or so to get a char on the vegetables. Come out amazing every time with none of the nonsense of "flipping" something over. Just toss in your desired oil and seasoning if wanted. This has been used on average probably 6 days a week for close to a year. Dishwasher'd (just the rack) a few times, let soak in hot water a bunch - maybe that wasnt great as the non-stick worked well and I was just lazy. But the coating on the rack is going away and seeing some rust. Just bought another pan and will be more careful cleaning it. Lost 40 pounds exercising and eating better and this pan definitely helped by making veggies easier and better when not just eating them raw. Read more
