I’ve been playing around with egg roll wrappers. They’re not just for Chinese restaurants! Besides the traditional filling, I’ve made them with Korean seasoned beef and cabbage, breakfast egg rolls of scrambled egg and sausage, and even leftover Thanksgiving stuffing! These are bacon/onion/cabbage. I buy the pre-made wrappers (Nasoya is a brand I like), and after they’re filled and rolled, I brush them on both side with an appropriate oil for the filling, and bake at 425 for around 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Add a dipping sauce of your choice and enjoy!

You're just trying to make me jealous of your Ovenex Starburst pan! Well, mission accomplished! The egg rolls look great, too!

I had never seen that ovenex stuff in my life, until I saw a post on here where someone had, I think it might have been, a loaf pan, but I could be wrong. And the next time I went garage saling, I got two pans in beautiful condition for a buck apiece. It’s possible my eye was just newly attuned to recognize the pattern, but I prefer to think the universe just put them there for me!

Don't you love it when those things happen? I have my mom's Ovenex loaf pan (in a different pattern) and a little muffin pan, but I have never seen a sheet pan around here.

Mom used to have some Ovenex muffin pans, & I think a twelve inch pizza pan. The muffin pans were the starburst pattern, which is the most recognizable. The pizza pan was what's called the waffle pattern. It isn't as distinctive. They were made by Ekco, & produced between 1945 & 1965. They were marketed as stick resistant. I've got a few pieces, but they get little or no use, because I do so little baking. They made a whole line of the stuff, so you're likely to see many shapes & sizes. I've even seen a heart shaped cake pan & bundt & angel food cake pans. Muffin pans seem to be the most plentiful in 6, 8 & 12 count sizes.
Some people probably collect them. Kind of a low cost collectable, & you can use them too. In doing a search for Ovenex, I ran across one site called Tin Can Sally selling switch plates that are cut & stamped out of these pans. They also make them out of old coffee cans or other tins. The prices start at $32.00. Nana, it's likely after seeing the pattern on pans here, it went into the data base of knowledge in your head, so the next time you encountered some, your sharpened perception picked them out of the crowd. Maybe they weren't as popular in your part of the country, so there's fewer of them for you to have seen. A quick search of ovenex on eBay comes up with 391 hits, so they're out there, just maybe not so many in your neck of the woods.
That newly attuned skill to recognize something comes from becoming more knowledgeable about most anything. If we're paying attention, we should always be learning about something. Sadly, many people sleepwalks through life & rarely broaden their knowledge much. You can never learn too much, but you can suffer or even die if you don't know enough. There are too many ways to get in trouble, be injured or die by being ignorant or downright stupid.

I think you’re probably right, Pooka. Having seen it (and immediately been smitten by it) my brain was able to subconsciously recognize it in the pile of pans. But I still like to think the universe thought I might like them! And they do work really well, to. Things do not stick to them!

Sometimes the stars align & dream do come true, or so I'm told. The universe has a way of making you wonder if it's happenstance or divine providence. We believe what we choose to believe. One man's logical conclusion is another's miracle. To the unsophisticated, technology can be indistinguishable to magic. Arthur C. Clarke said “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” In the end, we believe what pleases us.
