(baking pan or tefals are not that familiar of ethnic cooking in most part of pampanga) and it leaves or give also an aroma upon baking.not require the banana leaves if you have non stick oven tray. what you need to know is the method of how most of the pampanguenos technic ability when it comes to cooking.
