Getting grease off cake tins
NickiM
Posts: 712 Forumite
Hi,
I've been baking quite a lot and when I was the cake tins, they look clean, but when they are dry you can see that a layer of grease has been left behind. I've tried everything: Stardrops, hot water, cold water, a scourer, washing up liquid! Any ideas??
Thanks.

Mine are like that too Nicki. I don't worry about it, just makes it easier to get the cakes out of the tins. My mother used to bake in the blackest tins ever. But me and my mum are a couple of slobs when it comes to hygiene in the kitchen so you might not want to take our advice:D We never poison anyone though;)0

Lemon juice might help, squirt a little onto a kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the tin thoroughly then wash in HOT and I mean hot soapy water as hot as the hand can stand, should do the trick.Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.Together we can make a difference.0

Thanks to both of you! I don't mind that much, but it gets a bit annoying that it is a bit slimy! I'll try the lemon juice trick...0

What sort of fat are you using to grease the tins
I've found that some oils tend to leave a residue - I think (short chemistry lesson coming up 
) it's the fat cross-linking and making longer chain fats, which aren't so easy to shift

I was told to soak overnight in Ariel and this gets rid of the grease and makes them really clean. I have tried it and it seems to work. But my granny told me to leave them black because it makes them non-stick!!! How could I not do what my granny told me....0

I always just drop the cake tins straight in to hot soapy(washing up liquid) water as soon as the cake comes out.Get any of the bits off and when it's clean rinse,dry and put back in the warm oven to dry off thoroughly.They never seem to get sticky residue if I do it this way and the oven dries them out so they don't rust.
I've had some cake tins over 20 years and they're still going strong.
By the way there's no harm in blackened cake tins,they're clean and they'll work realy well,my grannies were always blackened.It does'nt harm them.0
