Do you think the bake even strips would work in a glass baking dish or is it only good for metal pans?
Also... what would be the best thing for making sure the center of a cake bakes evenly in a deep round glass dish (specifically a pampered chef measuring/baking bowl). I ALWAYS have a hard time baking even. The outsides burn while the center is still jello... GRRRRRRRR 
Those heating cores would be WAY too short for this.
You could use a nail or a metal skewer for the cake baking-I hate the strips-I used them a couple times and sent them to Wilton telling them they didn't work-never heard from them but never used any again! Are you turning your heat to 325 instead of 350? I have found that helps alot. HTH!
I just baked several 14" rounds today - I have always used the bake even strips, but today, I'd thought I'd also try the flower nail in the middle (after reading about it on this site). So I used the bake even strips and the nail - and I have to say, it worked pretty well! No crusty edges and it seemed to bake evenly across.
My bake-even strips dried up and cracked all over! I also found them hard to get wet! I use a long strip of quilted cotton now and hold it onto the pan with binder clips. I think it works better than the bake-even strips. the cotton stays wet longer.
I just love the strips. Wouldn't bake without them now.
For a deep, wide cake I would use both the strips and the nail.Mary
I also use my bake even strips for everything (i have them in several sizes) I also use the metal cone for all my cakes over 10 inches. It makes a huge difference!
The flower nail is the BEST!! I never have crusty sides and the cake always bakes evenly. I shared the flower nail tip at my Wilton class and the person that tried it LOVED it. I have used it on a square 16 inch pan and the cake turned out perfect. There is no need to spend extra money purchasing more gadgets for me!
