Notes
You are able to use either a metal pan or a glass dish. I tend to prefer the glass dish as I am able to cut the squares in the dish and not have to worry about scratching the metal pan. If you use a metal pan I would suggest taking the whole batch out of the pan and cutting it on a cutting board to prevent scratching your metal pan.
