Is a non-stick bakeware pan non-reactive?!
Answers: I'm looking to do a jellied cranberry recipe for the holidays and I need a "non-reactive gelatin mold". I was hoping to be able to use a non-stick cake pan instead of going out and buying something (it's by Viking for making little pumpkin shaped cakes). I know that glass, ceramic and stainless are non-reactive, but wasn't sure what material the pan is (undetermined metal). I was hoping that the non-stick coating would make it non-reactive.
Yes, it will be fine.
You just don't want to use cast iron or bare aluminum.
NO it is inert
maybe. It's usually iron or alluminum covered in the non stick coating. However, if there are chips, scratches, or dings in it then you shouldent use it.
In adition to it "reacting" the non stick coating can flake off onto your cranberry thing.
IMO, you should just line it with plastic wrap.
