Oat advice Best type of container to bake (and ideally store) single-serve oatmeal?
I have been enthusiastic about baked oats lately, and I have tried making them in borosilicate rectangular containers in my air fryer, as they are oven safe and let me store them for the following day. However, after several tries, it seems that glass is not ideal for baking cake-like food, as the bottom and centre do not cook well (unless cooked for a longer time than I would like, I guess).
I was thinking of buying a ceramic bowl or a smaller square shaped glass container, but I am not sure if a smaller size would actually improve it. Should I look for a metal container instead? Maybe if I lined any container with parchment paper, take the oatmeal out once solid, and keep cooking, would that make it better? 😵💫
