Can you reuse Fray Bentos pie tins?

Doingmybest2bgoodhurrah

My OH occasionally buys Fray Bentos pies. I always wash the used tins & put them in the recycling bin, but can anybody tell me if its ok to reuse them for home made pies?

I'm hoping that I can keep them to save me buying new ones, as I want to stock the freezer up abit with some pies & quiches etc.

All advice gratefully received.

I can't think of any reason why not.

As you say, they'd be perfect for home-made flans, pies and quiches for the freezer. They'd probably work for big Yorkshire Puddings or Toad in the Hole (albeit circular), too.

I have used mine for years now ....!

The only potential problem I can see might be if your home made pies needed a higher temperature or significantly longer cooking time - would the paint/print on the tin stand up to it or would it burn and give out nasties?

I hadn't thought of Yorkies or toad in the hole - might try one out today with batter mix. Thanks!!

Mother in law used them for yorkshire puds for years and still uses them for pies too.
