Baking tins?

anguk

I bought a bakingenius roasting tin from Lakeland and loved it, nothing stuck, it didn't warp and was a joy to clean but sadly after about 6 months it's stained and the non-stick is coming off despite never using metal utensils. I noticed there's a few negative comments appearing on the Lakeland site about them now so it seems like they may be okay for a few months then start to go wrong.

I've emailed them and thanks to their excellent customer service they've offered me a replacement or refund, I don't want a replacement incase the same thing happens so was thinking of using the money for a different type of tin.

I quite fancy the look of the Mermaid anodised tins, does anyone use them and does food stick? The My Kitchen ones seem quite good too but I'm worried the non-stick may start to come off after a while.

Ideally I'd like something that will last me years if that's possible, I'm willing to pay a bit more if I know something is going to last.

if you have a tk maxx, th eone near me always has an amazing selection of top end baking tins at about half price. (I bough a lovely big stellar pie dish).

We had the mermaid ones for a wedding gift, we got married a year ago.

We only us them now for sitting things on in the oven to catch drips, or for things in foil trays etc.

They aren't great :-(

I absolutely second this comment. I've bought a fair bit of kitchen stuff from there (including a set of mini Le Creuset mini casserole dishes for under a tenner!) and I've not had a problem with any of it yet. Most recent purchase was a nice heavy loaf tin and it's working out great so far (five year guarantee on a lot of their stuff too because it's mostly quality manufacturers)

I wonder if you've thought about silicone baking trays? I have no experience of using them, but a friend swears by them.

I have a mix of TKMaxx heavy tins which most are guaranteed for 5-10yrs (just bought a traybake one today in fact for £3.99!) - and some silicone ones (which you need to stand on a tin/sheet but cheap is fine) and also a few enamel trays from Adsa which are holding up really well (for me...)
