Is There REALLY Such A Thing As NON-STICK Baking Tins???

[MrsForgetful]

....for things like yorkshire pudding etc where you don't line the tins etc

I have reusable baking sheets which prevent things sticking....but for cakes if i ever rely on the non-stick tin (sprayed or wiped with oil) without a base liner...it sticks.

or regardless of how much or how little oil i use for roast potatoes/yorkshire puds....they stick.

i get better results using glass (pyrex) ....

i've seen silicone 'tins'... and wonder if they are REALLY non stick.

I've paid as much as £20 for a tin so far...so not cheap rubbish tins...and would pay more if i new i wouldn't have to fight to get food out the tin!!!

(it gets worse...you then put a yorkshire pudding tin ...complete with stuck on bits...into the dishwasher....and it comes out...with soggy stuck on bits...rather than how in went in all crispy.
So all in all...my bloody tins are ruining my zest to cook)

Nope; I haven't every found any.

One trick I did learn was to grease the tin with a different oil from that you are using in the cooking/baking.

so if cooking with butter, grease with veg oil. The theory is the same oil will cook into the mix and so stick; a different oil will act better as a barrier. Has worked well with cakes but not sure about yorkies.

I do my yorkies in a massive pyrex dish and hack off lumps for each person - not particularly delicate but still delish!

Those silicone ones are good.

thanks..

i have wondered about these from Lakeland but don't ever trust the online reviews...much prefer to have mumsnet reviews!!!

Silcone is godd, but I think with yorkshire puddings it is just heating the oil/fat up enough before you put the yorkshire pudding mix in. It should make the fat sizzle when you pour it in.

FreeButtonBee meant to say your 'using different oils' etc idea makes sense....will deffinitely use that!

For yorkshires I use a very old patty tin and hardly ever wash it. I just wipe and over the years it's built up some sort of 'resistance' so they never stick!

For all else (incl roast pots, sausages, fish fingers etc) I always line with baking parchment. Nothing ever sticks and there's no washing up at all! And it collects the grease and goes in our green recycling (paper, card, food waste) so drains aren't affected.

I read somewhere that, especially if you wash things in the dishwasher, you should rub the surface with cooking oil and a bit of kitchen roll to re-seal it before you use it again.

It really does seem to work. I've been doing it on non-stick pans that I thought were worn out, and an iron steak griddle (which I now rub clean with paper, but never wash).

Stainless steel is particularly bad for sticking.

I don't put non-stick bakeware in the dishwasher as they seem to get rust spots(from the salt I imagine) and are ruined.

Even so no I don't think anything is really non-stick.

i bought a cheap set of silicone cupcake cases AND a pack of foil cases (as Aunt Bessies yorkshire puds come in foil trays and they don't stick!)

both sets cost me £2 in total....roll on sunday roast!

I find non-stick baking trays are quite good to start off with and then seem to lose this ability and you just end up having to use a metal knife to remove food from the trays, which then become scratched and rusty, etc etc. Ultimately they just don't last that long.

The last time I bought baking trays I went for aluminium and they have been brilliant. Still going strong without any scratches!

I bought the bakegenius baking sheet, brownie pan and big veg tray from lakeland the other week and have been very impressed. Didn't even need to grease for my cookies and they slid off really easily.

off to lakeland i go!

ok....have ordered online the lakeland tins....

then...used the silicone (£1 from the local £ shop) for yesterdays yorkshires....and they rose so much- a few of them actually fell out of the cases!!!

The non-stickiest yorkshires i've ever made!!!

however...they looked funny! The cases i used were ridged...so were the yorkshires!!!!

I had a tin from Robert Dyas (?) that my M-I-L bought me years ago. Was great at Yorkshires, they never used to stick. Then I cleaned it with that 'clean in the bag' stuff and it took all the coating off it.

I loved that tin.

I recently converted to silicone tins for yorkshires and I was amazed - they rose beautifully and just fell out of the tin.

One tip though, especially if heating the fat first - put the silicone tin onto a solid tray. A wobbly tray of hot fat is a bit hard to control!
