Maybe you can explain this to me.?

Great cooks have their particulars. You ought to work with a chef once!

Keith this is funny to me and the first question of yours that I have been able to answer. The color of the pyrex dish does not matter. There is no special pan for "Green Bean casserole". However your wife has/had one that she preferred to use, probably because the size was perfect or Green Beans look better in a Brown Pan.~~ Now I'm thinking, I wouldn't mind fixing up some of those beans myself, but I don't have a brown pan. lol

I understand her perfectly, it is very frustrating to not find just the pan or casserole dish you may always use, for whatever. I imagine she took it to someone's house as her contribution for Thanksgiving dinner.I'm guessing it is a brown clear glass pyrex dish. Go buy her another.

Larry's answer is brilliant!

Hi:

I ccok or bake in a glass or any pans. It should not matter the end results should be the same.

Good Luck

you're mis-recommended . . . Gen.4:16: And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt contained in the land of Nod, . . :17: And Cain knew (had sex with) his spouse; - so Cain already had a spouse in addition . . . 4:26: And to Seth, to him also there develop into born a son; - no element out of the delivery of Seth's spouse ultimately . . . 5:a million: it is the e book of the generations of Adam . . .And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and said as his call Seth - no element out of Cain or Abel even! end: the delivery of all toddlers isn't said, yet inferred. in view that God gave mankind a sexcontinual and stated it is not good to be on my own yet to have a help-meet, it may well be propose no longer to provide.

Even though all the pans may look alike to you, there may be differences in size, shape, etc., yes and color, too. Cake-making, especially from scratch, can be a delicate business and those things may matter. On the other hand, your wife may just be attached to that brown pan. I know I have my go-to pan for baking cakes, then my second favorite, and so on. If you want green bean casserole for dinner ever again, better find that pan now!

I have always made my green beans casserole in a glassware casserole dish, you can put this in the oven or use in ;the microwave..why she is using a pan is beyond me..=)

This is funny if it weren't so sad, that you may never have your wife's greatest tasting green bean casserole ever again if you don't find that brown dish or pan whatever it was? But, like your dear wife, I agree with her, I have certain baking dishes for certain favorite things I bake (crazy as it sounds) I suggest you find who borrowed this brown baking dish or who broke it and didn't tell her. Your funny Keith!!!

The brown pan is on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator all the way to the back. It still has some of Thanksgivings green bean casserole in it.

I think you wife is just accustom to using her brown pan for the green bean casserole. I'd try to surprise her and shop around for a new brown pan so she can continue with her tradition.

Sounds like the traditional ham recipe handed down for many generations. A guest commented her hostess on the delicious ham she served for dinner. She asked her for the recipe. The hostess said "Take a large ham and cut the end off and put it in a pan...and continued on with the other ingredients and instructions. The guest asked her why the end of the ham had to be cut off. Hostess replied "That's how my mother always made it, but I'll call and see why she does that." She called her mother and the mother said "That's how your grandmother always cooked the ham, I'll call her and ask her why". So the mother calls the grandmother and asked her why she always cut the end of the ham off before baking. Her reply "Because a large ham wouldn't fit in my baking pan."

Your wife probably has a reason for baking in the brown pan, maybe the recipe is too large for the other pans.
