Once you get the pan into the oven, it will bake just fine. If you're
using a large pan, you may need to use a peel to get the pan into the
oven (sometimes the larger pans will buckle from the weight of the
batter). I use them fairly often. You may want to check for doneness
5 minutes before you usually do, especially if you usually bake in
Pyrex. The lighter weight pans heat up more quickly than the Pyrex.

I don't suggest using the foil pans for roasting a bird, unless you
put a cookie sheet underneath it to keep it from buckling and dumping
pan drippings all over.
