Most of us come by our collection of baking equipment in a piecemeal manner. A few things from mum and dad here, a pan bought for a specific recipe there, a housewarming gift, a . wait, where did that even come from? Peek into those cabinets and you ll probably find a mix of metal and glass dishes designed for baking, perhaps with some ceramic or silicone mixed in.
In baking especially, which material you use can have a significant effect on the results. Ask just about any serious or professional baker whether they prefer glass or metal, and the answer is almost always steer, well, clear of glass.
