You might know this, Kandee, or maybe someone else does... I've noticed that a lot of cans now have a coating of white "lining" on the inside of the can. Are these still safe to bake with? I'm hoping so, because I can't seem to find *any* cans that don't have this lining.
Glad you asked Casey, because I thought about this AFTER I wrote the post and didn't go back to edit it. NO, don't use ones with plastic linings. They will likely melt subjected to high heat. There still are a lot of ones however they don't coat. If I remember right, the last cans of canned peaches and pineapple I used didn't have linings. Also, a lot of house brands of fruits and veggies don't use lined cans to keep the costs down. Just be aware of all the cans you open and if you find ones not coated, set them aside for future baking. As time goes on, we may see cans become obsolete as more plastic and asceptic packaging takes over.

However, I have a friend that swears you CAN bake in them but I wouldn't take the chance. I'll see what else I can find out for you to see if that's true.
