Can you use a mini muffin pan for popovers?

To make popovers, you need to create steam rapidly within the pan. Popovers rise dramatically during the first 5-10 minutes of baking, due to the formation of steam. However, mini muffin pans are too small to generate enough steam to create the desired rise in popovers.

Additionally, popovers require a high oven temperature (around 400-450°F) to achieve their characteristic shape and texture. Mini muffin pans are not designed to withstand such high temperatures and may warp or become damaged.
