Where can I buy pie tins but not foil ones?

chrisfreelander54

We have really started to get into baking recently and would now like to make pies.

Ideally we would like to bake in bulk and freeze if possible to enable us to take to work and warm in the microwave, the problem we have is we can't seem to find and pie tins.

Where can we buy these at a reasonable cost, or is there any alternative.

Thanks in advance
Chris.

May be try Lakeland. Their website and catalogue seem to have lots of hard to find bakeware, including silicon, which you can cook and then freeze. I've also found them very helpful on the phone.

If you are going to freeze and microwave them you are really limited. I think some pyrex dishes are suitable for both. A lot of supermarkets sell similar dishes.

Lakeland have a special offer just now of buy one get one half price on their white with blue stripe enamel pie dishes and plates, but these are not suitable for microwaving. . Have you thought about making pies in saucers? I use saucers, plates and also the lid of Pyrex dishes upside down if the pies are not to be too deep. Just a thought to save you buying expensive dishes until you see how you get on.

You can get what you want from lakeland. Once you have cooked your pie you can cut it into portions and freeze these individually, so you can take one portion to work.

There are some very good bakeware shops up at Cheshire Oaks outlet park.

I've recently started backing too
If you want to put the pie straight in the mw you may want to consider microwave dishes (although not everybody likes them and have not bought any). If this is the case I would recommend not to go for cheap and cheerful because thin, low quality silicone doesn't work well, from what I've heard.
I found Lakeland quite expensive, particularly to start with because I needed to buy a lot of stuff.

These are the shops I found were good for baking gear:

M&S have a 20% offer on right now, and the prices are more than reasonable, you don't even have to pay for delivery as you can collect in store

PS they don't seem to have full sized pie tins sorry

Asda is great for cheap and cheerful items that you want to try out if you are not sure what you are going to need

Amazon has a great choice of items at good prices and you can see reviews.

TK Maxx is fantastic if you want to buy good quality items that will last, or something that is a bit more unusual.

ebay has a lot of stuff too.
