3868.0. "Tart Pan???" by BRAT::VINCENT () Mon Nov 22 1993 15:53

    
    
    I found a really wonderful recipe that I wanted to try for
    Thanksgiving, but it called for an 11 inch tart pan.  What is a tart
    pan, and could something else be used?

3868.1Don't create new notes for existing topicsCUPMK::BONDEMon Nov 22 1993 16:414
    I did a DIR/TITLE=, and checked note 5.10, and found a discussion on
    tart pans already exists in topic 2361.  That's probably where this
    discussion should be continued.
    
3868.2I tried that....BRAT::VINCENTMon Nov 22 1993 16:5713
    
    Thank you for the pointer - I had done a dir/title=tart but that note did 
    not come up - not sure why.  
    
    I read through those notes, but they seemed geared toward WHERE to find
    the pan vs. WHAT is a tart pan.  
    
    My question was - what is a tart pan, and do I really need to use it -
    or is there something else I could use.  Not sure if it is really the 
    same discussion????

    It seems to me that a good place to ask "WHAT is a tart pan?" is in the
    midst of a discussion about where to buy one.  After all, it sounds
    like they might know what it is that they are looking to buy.

	It is a round <usually 11" or slightly larger> pan with a 
	short <usually 1" or less> straight side which may or may
	not be fluted. It might also have a removable bottom.

	I would think if you used the biggest pie plate you have the
	recipe would probably come out just fine. I'm guessing though
	since you didn't mention the recipe. With the pie plate you'll
	a slightly thicker product so you might need to adjust the
	cooking time.

3868.5Tart Pan vs. Pie PlateSOLVIT::FLMNGO::WHITCOMBTue Nov 23 1993 16:047
Many tart pans come with removable bottoms, which would enable you to serve
the dessert outside of the pan possibly on a nice cake plate or platter.  And
with the fluted sides on the tart pans, it makes for a fancier-looking
dessert than one made in a pie plate.  If you wanted to remove the dessert from 
the pan for serving, but didn't want to purchase a tart pan, you could always
use a springform pan.  I think a 10" springform pan would suffice.
