I am baking 12"x18"x2" WASC and want to know if ONE flower nail is enough to bake evenly?
I don't have any good experiences for using baking strips so just want to use flower nails.
Thanks.

I use 2 in my 11x15 and the cake strips. I have always been told to use a flower nail for anything 10" and over. I love the cake strips. I never thought they would work, but I was wrong.

I'd say two are a better bet. Usually with that size pan, I place them about six inches (I eyeball it, but place them at an equal distance from each side.) There is not one directly in the middle as would be in a round pan.

HTH!

I have grown to love my baking strips as well... but did not like them in the beginning. Decided what I did not like was trying to pin them with the pins they provided in the package. Now, I simply use one of those "grippy" clips clamped over the rim of the pan to keep them from slipping. Some others here on CC have sewn Velcro closures on them. My clips work great for me, and I don't have to get out the sewing machine!
