Material simulating a loaf load
Not sure what heading to post this under, but I guess it's geeky enuf to put here. :)
I'm going to be doing a series of experiments in which I'll be monitoring pan temperatures over the bake cycle. And doing so numerous times.
Rather than baking actual loaves, it would be nice to have a standardized material in the pan that:
a) is consistent/repeatable
b) resembles the volume and mass of a typical loaf
c) can take the heat (say 400ºF)
d) and can be re-used
I've used rice in the past but, for a given weight, its volume is too small.
Any ideas?
