They were being eco friendly before it was something with a name. You dont need oodles of tin foil to drape over a roast if you have an enamel pan, therefore no waste to through out to be immediately recycled after one use. Like pyrex you can take them straight from the freezer to the oven<br /><br />Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-46208621928373492822021-12-08T17:26:23.147+00:002021-12-08T17:26:23.147+00:00Same as mine !
