I got up early this morning to fire up the Weber to smoke two Boston butts. The roasting pan those cuts were resting in came in and got a washing then I turned on the oven to bake some brownies. While the oven was preheating I put the clean roasting pan in there to dry and free up dish drainer space.

While the brownies were baking I was washing dishes and washed a new spring form pan I had bought and there was a good size Corning ware dish that needed soap and water on it as well. About the time I was through with these two items the brownies came out of the oven and it was turned off. Into that hot oven these three pieces went to dry and dry quickly I might add.

Anybody else use pre-heating or residual oven heat to dry large kitchen baking pots and pans?
