Really really good cake tins

13 replies

Ok, getting geared up for birthday cake making (Saturday! Ack!)

I threw out my sheet cake pans in the renovations, as they were sticking. The only cake tins I have that don't annoy me are tefal ones, as they don't seem to ever stick.

Who else does good ones? Or ones that are v easy to line with baking parchment?

I am being tempted to buy a bundt cake tin, found a sandcastle shape, really lovely, and the shape is more sensible than normal cake tins ...

Lakeland ones look good, but are they that good? And how fast would they get to me, if I ordered today?

Hmm, the thing is, I prefer how the crust comes up if it's straight on the cake tin, rather than on parchment. Comes up crispier.

But then, much as I love my Tefal ones, they do always stick, anyway, they're just easy to clean and they don't rust.

Maybe I want to get loose-bottomed tins? And yeah, maybe ready-cut linings, so at least they fit.

Actually, website says 24 hours if I pay £5 extra which is worth it. (Duh, was at Bluewater on Saturday. Am such an idiot.)

I keep seeing things saying how good these sort of silicone ones are - but haven't tried them myself.

the only stuff I have I rate is:
Prestige enamel oven trays because they are the right size to fit the grooves of the oven to make extra shelves, hence great for baking lots of eg biscuits at once. Not nonstick but easy to line.
and a Tefal Patisserie oblong brownie-type pan, which is so good we use it almost constantly for roast spuds, veg etc as well as cakes and flapjack - in fact just about anything that goes in the oven. Am thinking of asking for more for Christmas as it is not cheap and I'd like to replace my knackered £1.50 Ikea springform.

I do like bundt tins but worry all cakes would then look the same. A springform with the option of a tubey middle bit to make ring cakes might be good, or a brioche pan?

these tins are the best ones i have ever had.

I have good oven trays that came with my oven. Not nonstick exactly, but very sturdy and work very well. (Also my oven is 70cm wide, not 60cm, so standard things won't fit, oops.)

Thanks for more links, am considering buying the Mermaid ones from Lakeland, as they will get here fast, but am dubious about quality, would rather pay more and then not have to buy new for a while. I do bake pretty often.

Ah, cremola, those are the ones I'm considering from Lakeland. They do look good, and loose-bottomed would reduce the number of cakes stuck to the bottom of the tin!

I really like the mermaid range- but they do a professional range which are practically indestructable. will try and find a link- i have had mine for nearly 20 years and they are still going strong.i think they are made from industrial strength aluminium.

sorry NQC- the delivery times on that website are a bit pants.
hope you find what you are after.
