Thanks to all who answered. I am trying to avoid the trip into town
to get disposable pans, so went looking and found a 9x13 that I can use
if I switch recipes. I use that size on the barbeque instead of foil
when I make roasted veggies. They're washable and less wasteful (I hate
waste) than using sheets of foil. Our area doesn't recycle foil pans.
I'll get a selection of different sizes of disposables next grocery day,
since we are both diabetic and I don't bake for us. I usually get asked
to make sandwiches or a relish tray, but this time they asked for a
dessert squares. I had all of the ingredients left over from my annual
Halloween baking session, so I agreed. Thanks again.......Sharon
