Best pudding basins?

ziggy2004

I would like to make more puddings ( both sweet and savoury) as the family likes eating them .

I have a couple of microwave pudding basin with a lid but would like to get a proper one.

Any advice on where to get nice and cheap ones and what do I need to cover the top?

thank you !!

I have some lovely enamel ones which I got from Lakeland, at a sensible price, but obvioulsy being metal these are not suitable for microwaving with. It depends what I am cooking as to which lid I use, sometimes an upside down side plate does the trick, steamed puds get greaseproof and foil lids, foil on it's own is good, and for putting stuff in the fridge, again a small plate or my OH uses clingwrap. I can't stand the stuff myself, but each to their own! HTH x. Will find a linky for you ....

Of course, they don't sell them anymore, would you believe it? But I found some similar ones for you at Amazon here:

thank you they look nice!!

Does enamel go in the dishwasher? Not fussed about the microwave as I have the plastic ones if needed for that

I imagine so, but I don't have one. I can't see why not though.

I put my enamel in the dishwasher. If there is something stuck or burnt on, it doesn't come clean so I scour it by hand.
