Hi,
Does anyone know if you can still use the paper inserts for the muffin pans(stoneware)? I have a customer that is thinking of buying one but she is making muffins for her SS class and asked if she could still use them in the pan?


TIA

Yep- you can still use the papers. I use them for cupcakes in my SWMP all the time.

Thanks Ann!
 
Although as Alton Brown says in the Muffin episode of Good Eats: "These are muffins, not cupcakes! We don't need no stinkin' papers!"
 
I use them all the time too. Mine stuck until I remembered to brush my stone with oil or something, DUH!!!:rolleyes: I was use to my others already being seasoned from use!
