    Definitely line with foil. Follow the advice of earthseame (comment below). Good

    The next time I make this, I will cook it for 20 minutes without the glaze, then brush on the glaze and cook it for 20 minutes more for a total cooking time of 40 minutes. Don't put the glaze on at the beginning of the longer cooking time because it will burn really badly and don't skip the foil.
