[Solar Is My Name]

Bought yesterdays's TSV -- please give me your opinion: should I butter or oil the Buffet Casserole before putting batter (corn bread, brownies, whatever) in it to bake in the oven?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP & experience!

Yes, I would use oil and heat it before cooking cornbread and would follow instructions of recipe for peparing pan for  brownies.

@gtxThanks! Do you think that just coating the Le Creuset with cool butter before adding brownie batter would be okay, but not with corn bread batter? Happy cooking, and thank you!

For brownies: Coat pan with room temperature butter and sprnkle with flour before adding batter.

For cornbread I add a tablespoon or more of cooking oil (I use corn oil) to pan and heat in the oven before adding cornbread batter..

@Solar Is My Name, instead of sprinkling with flour, I always sprinkle with the mix - it blends in and there's no whiteness if you're baking something dark.
