old style roasting tins

harrys_nan

Can anyone point me in the direction where I can buy a roasting tin/pan that I can season so it doesn't stick when I make a Yorkie pudding, all the shops by me only seem to sell non-stick, which I do not want

Hi Harry's Nan

I use enamel pans, falcon brand now, but I have a few from my Nan and she passed away 23 years ago and they are still going good

I'd second that though mine are only around 15 years old.....:)

Thanks for your help, but I really wanted the old sort, the ones you don't wash, just wipe clean and oil them.

My older ones are pretty seasoned so don't need much cleaning and if something does get stuck a soak sorts it out and with enamel you don't worry about rusting . Sounds as though you are looking for cast iron or heavy grade stainless steel or good quality ceramic. Just a word of caution - it takes lots of uses and re-seasoning to get to the point where you can just wipe and re-oil

If you have the cash hard-anodised could be the way to go. They are not non-stick so don't flake but don't need the same preparation and up keep as cast iron. The Mermaid make is pretty decent and not too expensive

My roasting tins are stainless steel and are at least 40 years old

Baking trays are the old fashioned vitreous enamel, must be 20 years old and as good as new

I can't say I've ever had a Yorkshire pud stick. Worse mess is egg custard if I overfill a quiche. But a soak sorts that out

I have mermaid tins I bought at John Lewis years ago and they were incredibly expensive!

I should have said compared to some of the other hard anodised stuff:o
