Chef Diane said:I have used my mini muffin pan a few times now and everything burns in it. I have adjusted time but doesn't seem to work. Do I have a defective pan or is there something else I can try?
Any input would be helpful.
tlennhoff said:Or be like me and put the mini muffin pan on top of a stone.
Chef Diane said:yes, know about the papers...but I buy PC so I don't have to us those papers. For as much as I bake vs the cost of the papers, not worth it.
chefann said:Gasp! It says right in the stoneware use and care not to put other cooking vessels on top of a stone.
TinasKitchen said:OH I agree, I dont use the papers all the time. My husband saw them and bought them so I used them. Turned out cute. Just wanted to share!
tlennhoff said:I've had no problems so far. I wonder why they recommend against it? It has made a big difference on my challah to use the challah (bread) pans on top of the stoneware.
chefann said:Tasha, I think it's because stacking increases the likelihood of too many thermal differences. That's just a theory, though. If you really wanted to know, the product development dept might be able to give you a real answer.

There are a few potential reasons for your mini muffins burning. It could be due to a malfunctioning oven, inaccurate oven temperature, or overfilling the muffin cups. It could also be because the oven rack is too close to the heat source or the baking time is too long. We recommend checking the oven temperature with an oven thermometer and adjusting the baking time accordingly.
To prevent your mini muffins from burning, make sure to accurately measure your ingredients and follow the recipe instructions. Use an oven thermometer to ensure the oven is at the correct temperature. You can also try using a lighter-colored or non-stick muffin pan and adjusting the oven rack to be further from the heat source. It may also help to reduce the baking time slightly.
If your mini muffins are only slightly burnt, you can try trimming off the burnt edges and serving them. If they are significantly burnt, unfortunately, they may not be salvageable. We recommend starting fresh with a new batch of mini muffins.
To ensure your oven is functioning properly, you can use an oven thermometer to check the temperature. You can also try baking other items in the oven to see if they cook evenly and without burning. If you suspect your oven is malfunctioning, it may be best to have it professionally inspected or repaired.
In addition to oven-related issues, other factors that could contribute to your mini muffins burning include using dark or non-stick muffin pans, using a convection setting, or baking at high altitudes. It's important to consider all of these factors when troubleshooting burnt mini muffins.
