Alternative to baking/greaseproof paper for caketin

EstherH

Hi, can I use the liner from a cereal packet to line my baking tin or will it melt or burn? If not are there any other suggestions apart from just greasing the tin well? Thanks in advance for your help. Esther

I think it will melt. If you don't want to use greaseproof you could invest in some silicon paper (I think Lakeland sell it) which you can reuse...

I don't think this would work. If you grease well you should be fine - I usually get away with it.

Thanks, want to make cake now so will just try greasing well. Esther

IF not too late, can grease and then shake a layer of flour around the tin over the grease to make a better non stick layer.
I think that cereal packets are waxed paper so not good.

i bought Non stick cooking liner ( 25 cm x 33cm) from Poundland for yes a £1 - it claims to cook without fat or oil for a much healthier diet and suitable for oven/grilling/baking/microwave/and roasting. It is 100% Non Stick , re-usuable, easy to clean, fat free cooking and easily cut to shape. I havent tried it out yet, but feels like a cross between baking paper and silicon. I had got a new cooker last week and am determined to keep it spotless so thought i would line my tins etc with this.

It is in a blue and yellow box.

Grease and flour. that's what I was going to say

Thanks for all your help. I went with tin foil as I asked on another thread too and saw that before the grease and flour. It turned out really well but may try the other ideas too. The pound land liners sound good if they can be reused. Grease and flour is cheapest as I greased the tin foil anyway. Not sure whether it was necessary.
