alternatives to 9X13 pyrex dish (lasagna size)

[smilingal]

I am making spanakopita in that size dish - but only own one - and need to make 3 - would you think that I could make this in the disposable foil pans?

Also - same size pan needed for Galaktoboureko recipe - can this be made in those disposable pans? I am thinking that I need to find ones that are shallower rather than higher.

Yes, many times.

i made the deep spanakopita lasagna pie - it was excellent tasting - but cutting it into neat squares for this function I am afraid will be difficult - so I am thinking of using the filling to make individual triangles - but am concerned about if that is difficult to do. I need to make these for this Saturday for a function of about 120 people.

edit - also the issue with needing 3 of those pyrex pans - and I only have one.

I make phyllo triangles regularly with various filling. Obviously making triangles will be A LOT more time consuming than making layers. I feel exhausted after making enough triangles to serve 12, let alone 120!! Yesterday I was watching DDD and saw the chef cut the whole pie into pieces before baking, that should help with creating neat pieces.

Cookie sheets would be my choice for cooking spanikopita. Why are you using lasagna pans?

[smilingal]

It is a deep pie - meant to cut into pieces.

Now I understand. I have always made them as small, crispy triangles that are bite-size appetizers. The hardest part about using disposable pans is they flex and they cook "hot."

have you made them from scratch?
