A Ground beef should be used within two days of purchase. Be sure to check the use by information on the package label before purchase. You can store ground beef safely in your refrigerator at 35 to 40 degrees, for one to two days. If you can't use it within that time, freeze it.
Quick loaf pans. Most quick loaf recipes (banana bread, zucchini bread) are written for 9 x 5 x 2 3/4-inch pans, a traditionally shaped loaf pan that's just slightly larger than a yeast bread loaf pan. Caveat emptor: Using a yeast loaf pan for a quick bread recipe may result in batter overflowing the pan. Likewise, using a quick bread pan for a yeast loaf recipe may result in a loaf that doesn't dome. These pans, though similar in size and shape, are not interchangeable. Quick loaves also can be baked in a longer, narrower pan (about 12 x 4 x 2 1/2 inches).
Best Answer: When I use my mini pans (2 loaves equal one regular loaf), I bake for about 1/2 the normal time then start checking. Usually, you should bake for 3/4 of the regular recipe. Take a knife around the edge between the bread and the pan. That will at least loosen up the sides. Take a spatula and gently pull up the edges at the bottom. But honestly, I'd just eat it out of the loaf pan, and let that be a lesson learned, lol. Add your answer. How long should I cook banana nut bread in a mini loaf pan? I've always cooked in a regular size loaf pan, but have decided to go with the small ones to give as gifts to my neighbors.
