Troubleshooting
Dish becomes misshapen during use
Handle the dish with care, especially when hot. Ensure it is supported by a baking sheet or sturdy surface when transferring in and out of the oven.
Uneven baking
While aluminum foil promotes even heating, ensure your oven temperature is accurate. Avoid overcrowding the oven. Rotating the dish halfway through baking can also help.
Food sticks to the dish
For best results, lightly grease or spray the inside of the dish with cooking spray before adding crust ingredients, particularly if not using a pre-made crust.
