You should not put an aluminum container directly in the oven

If you put an aluminum container, containing food to be cooked or reheated, in your oven directly on the shelf, the shiny base will reflect a large part of the oven heat (like a mirror). This means that the food will take much longer to cook or heat through than usual.

Same as frangipane is almond cream + custard, do you think one could make a pistachio cream by stopping before Stage 3?
Posted by Horacio march 30^th 2021 at 11:16 n° 5
This is because the cream is for cooking in recipes.
