“muffin tins will result in shorter ones than the real popover pans, but who has storage for those” Confession: I just learned about them via the Food Network and the fancy chef type person on there said you needed a popover pan so I got one from my sister for Christmas. I didn’t know about the muffin tin workaround. Although my muffin pan is silicone and not actual tin so maybe it wouldn’t work as well? Who knows. But Popovers! Yay!
