Okay, I've just learned this trick and I have a question about it. If you're doing a large sized cake - 12 X 18, do you still need to use the cake insert in the middle? The one that you pour some batter into to make sure the cake cooks all the way through? Or do you just use a flower nail instead? Also, on a cake that size, would it be better to put a nail on each side of the pan?
Thanks!

I've done it twice before and I didn't really notice a diffrence. You use it instead of the insert. I put two in my 12x18 sheet cake. I just personally prefer just to use the bake even strips. They seem to do a great job. HTH
If you're using the nail trick, you don't need the heating core. I actually use the flower nail with the bake even strips.
Although I haven't checked the accuracy of the temp. in my oven, I now lower my baking temp. to 325 instead of 350. I does take a bit longer, but the outcome was worth it to me.
