But it's more than just a meat thermometer! I use my Thermapen for everything from baking pie and bread to eggs, casseroles, candy making, and more!.This is especially important when you are cooking for a crowd! I also recommend this instant-read thermometer (affiliate link) -it's a game changer! No more cutting into your food, guessing or hoping it's done. You can also buy a glass 9X13 pans with a lid, which I find very handy for so many baked dishes and desserts! Casserole dishes, in a variety of sizes, are also useful to have on hand!
I like the ones with the lid, especially for transporting to a potluck. Many recipes call for a 9X13 baking pan , so it's a good staple to have around. The ingredient quantities will automatically adjust. However, most recipe cards have adjustable servings (all of mine do) so you can double or triple the recipe by clicking on the serving number and selecting the number of servings you'd like. Each recipe will show the number of servings.
