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).
If I were to follow a recipe calling for a 9 x 13 inch pan, but instead I decided to bake the batter in a half sheet pan, the half-sheet pan will bake the batter in less time than required by the 9 x 13, because the half-sheet is more shallow, with a greater surface area.I bake my banana bread in 9 x 5 pans at 350 for close to 50 minutes.). 2) Since your recipe is a converted zucchini bread recipe, I donât think there is enough leavening in the recipe to finish the job, even at a higher temperature.
