Baking trays - are good ones worth the extra money? any recommendations?

EldonAve · 08/02/2009 19:22

I have just binned my smallest baking tray
No idea where it came from, perhaps Sains?

Are cheap trays a false economy? Or is it just cos I buy nonstick?
If I buy a £20 one will it last and last?
Any recommendations?
TIA

they look hard to clean and won't go in dishwasher?

You're right, they don't go in the dishwasher, but they're dead easy to wash up. (And I should know, I do all the washing up in our house )

All mine are fancy ones now as the cheap ones got thrown away quickly

I got them from our local hardware shop - masterclass I think, not too expensive

PestoBlizzardMonster · 08/02/2009 20:06

BTW, you can get them from Lakeland.

KatyMac · 08/02/2009 20:06

I get the ones like school diner ones

Yurtgirl · 08/02/2009 20:07

lots of different sizes available

PestoBlizzardMonster · 08/02/2009 20:26

We have got

this one

this is the best price we could find anywhere for it too.

they last longer if you don't put them in the dishwasher. a bit of hot soapy water if you can straight after finishing using them.

I have recently invested in some more expensive ones and can't believe how fab they are
I don't know why I didn't do it earlier.

I don't do non stick anymore, enamel is the way forward.

My oldest enamel one is 7 years old & as good as new.

I've had a La Forme one which has lasted for donkeys years, and recently bought some small lakeland ones which I'm very happy with so far.

I buy a lot of my bakeware from TKMaxx, no particular brand,just buy something that seems heavy and solid and haven't been let down yet (and usually less than £10)

Eldonave, I've always bought mine in tesco/waitrose. Like this but 2/3rds of the price

SoMuchToBits · 09/02/2009 13:34

Mermaid (hard-anodised) ones are excellent. You can buy some of them from Lakeland. Expensive but good. Agaim they are not supposed to be dishwashed, but wash fairly esily I find.

ohdearwhatamess · 09/02/2009 13:46

We've got this, and same range in other sizes, and they are fantastic. Don't buckle or scratch, and clean really easily.

Cheap trays a false economy ime.
