can anyone recommend baking trays/tins

boredjellybean

Hi there

I'm after some new cake tis & baking sheets etc, the ones I've had before have been fairly cheap & a false economy as I keep needing to replace them - can anyone out there recommend anything that should stand the test of time yet isn't something I'll need to remortgage for?

many thanks

Mine are from a mixture of sources but agree that the cheap ones are a poor investment. Have a look at M & S who do some baking trays at a reasonable price - TK Maax have some good tins as do Lakeland or alternatively look at Amazon

Hi

Matalan do a pyrex range of sheets and tins. I am very happy with mine and are very reasonable. You may be able to order online.

I agree TK Maxx are good.

The cheap ones are prob a poor investment however I bought some cheap tins from Wilkinsons and I haven't had any problems with them (yet!) I made a Victoria sponge with the 21cm sandwich tins on Sat (just lined on the base) and it was fab. They were £2.50 each.

Asda have an offer on at the moment. It's 2 packs of Lurpak butter with a Lurpak brownie tin and a recipe card. I've bought 2 for myself now and one for a friend. The tin is great quality and will do for all sorts, from brownies to rice krispie squares to roasting veg and much more. It's £3 for the lot which I think is excellent value.

I know some Asda stores have sold out however mine still has loads. The recipe card has a white chocolate and respberry blondie recipe which I made and was a roaring success too so I'm well pleased with my purchases.

My best baking tins are Mermaid however they are pricey. I've found John Lewis to be cheaper for them than Lakeland oddly enough.

My favourites are vitreous enamel. They are easier to clean up than any "non-stick" pans or trays I have had, and not too expensive either.

Non-stick don't last, IMHO - I trust the grease & line with parchment method more.

I'm with Delia and usually buy Mermaid

I have a Mermaid baking sheet & a couple of tins but they are odd sizes so I tend to use them for roasting veg etc, rather than baking. I got them reduced (prob because of size) in one of those 'professional baking' shops that you see in the shopping outlets.

The Lurpack brownie tins & loaf tins have been wonderful.

I've got another baking sheet which I picked up from a CS, I use one of those lining sheets, cut to size, from the poundshops and it works a treat.

I've got a hard-anodised shallow roaster which came from TKMaxx - it's the same as Mermaid but it's not branded. I use this for so many things - very durable & useful.

I try and buy Mermaid too, but I get them from TKMaxx. They don't always have them in so I have to keep checking. Silverwood are good too.

I agree too, cheap is generally not worth it, although painless to replace.
Recently I got one of these:

and am so impressed. It's heavy, doesn't twist at high temperature, and everything I've cooked on it just slides off (biscuits, roast veg, chips, all sorts). It's non-stick but not like a coating. They were all 25% off the other week, I shall definitely get some more from this range.

I'm using that as well, excellent value.
