"However, you can use this unexpected step: Just flip the pan over and press the foil down on the outside of it. Once the foil has taken on the exact dimensions, you lift it off, flip it, and set it neatly inside. Instead of wrestling the foil into shape, you let the material do what it naturally does: take on a form when pressed against a surface."
"Highly detailed, textured shapes, like some Bundt molds are trickier, because the foil won't capture every ridge, though it can still give you a rough liner. And if your pan is larger than the foil roll itself, you can overlap two sheets with a folded seam in the middle for full coverage. This tip works for glass and ceramic pans, too, just be mindful of gently pressing the foil, so it doesn't tear."
Flip a pan and press aluminum foil onto its outside to capture exact dimensions, then lift, flip, and set the foil neatly inside for a perfectly fitted liner. The outside-in method works well for flat or gently curved pans such as sheet trays, brownie tins, casserole dishes, and loaf pans. Overlap two sheets with a folded seam for pans larger than the foil roll. The approach applies to glass and ceramic pans when pressing gently to avoid tearing. Highly textured or detailed molds may not be fully captured. Aluminum is not chemically neutral; prolonged contact with acidic or salty foods can leach metal into food.
