It's not a daft question I didn't know what they were til last year either People use different names for stuff!!
My tray I use is about 9" x 13 " I got it in Robert Dyas I think.. its about 2 inches deep ,like a roasting tray just a different shape The edges are more squared off Its metal (non stick) HTH Dee X

i dunno why i just always imagine baking trays then think they arent deep/big enough!
i have the usual cake tins,glass dishes i do lasagne/sheperds pie etc in.
i just never know what to use!!!

exactly what do you all use?

I use what this site describes as a Bakewell pan. It wasn't that expensive - got it as part of a deal from Lakeland, a few years ago. Can thoroughly recommend Mermaid stuff - not cheap, but last for years, and don't warp, which is vital for me cooking on a range.

I love the mermaid tins I have one my mum gave me as it was too big for just her and dad and two came with my oven,I know what you mean about twisting/warping I hate it when stuff *can't think of a suitable word for the noise * in the oven it all runs to one side!!

thanks for the carrot cake recipe.

i realsied the time when i posted my requested and realised i should of already left by then. so i did a quick google search and came up with a delia one. i got all the ingreidant's for that. although i'm adding walnuts not sultans as my in-laws are having diner with us and my mil won't eat sultanas.

i'm also gonna make bakewell tart. as well as tidy up and cooka roast and get some lunch for me, lol. only got 3 hours till they come.

i'll take some pic's if my cakes turn out ok. and post them later.

hubby had to pop out to help a mate and i gonna surprise him with the bakewell as he been asking for one for ages.

banana muffins look fab. my hanging fruit basket and just fallen down from ceiling. ( it like a 3 tier hangin basket thingy ) and i got some bashed bananas to use now. one orange even explosed on impact of hitting floor. was like something out a movie lol

i love the mermaind pan's. one birthday my mil asked me what i wanted i asked for a mermaid tin. but she wouldn't buy it. she said it my brithday . she can't give me a baking tin. i was like # yeah u can , it is somethign i would love#.

i'm type of girl i'd prefer housey/baking thing over a bottle of perfurm or makeup as a pressie any day.

sad aren't i , lol.

Kethry, thanks for posting that, going to have another look at the recipe now, I'll make a fresh wholemeal for it however (I have a few in the freezer I've made and frozen) I'm going to wait until Monday and get some other booze for it, probably brandy. Minatures would be a good idea but I had a thought of I need to visit DPs grandma, she'll have made hers this weekend and she might have some I can have so will try there first.

jenagain pleased you had a good time, your Mam is right, what a nice Mam

jcr if you are sad for prefering house stuff I am sad too, my birthday this year I got pans and knives last Xmas was a slow cooker, breadmaker and electric knife because I can't cut bread. My fave pressies are ones I can use Although I did throw a paddy and get my slow cooker before Xmas as I wanted to do the gammon and beef in it

I was going to bake today but feel a bit yakky still, so I think I will wait until through the week.

:undecided :santa2: Another *sad* person here lol...my little xmas list is always cooking/household stuff

Quick question...my lovely neighbour helps 'feed' my compost bin for me..she's always bringing in stuff thats perfectly ok for eating...potatoes etc,I do always tell her they're fine to use but the slightest bit on anything and she chucks it :eek: I make her family cakes and bits as she doesn't bake, in return..
she doesn't have much spare cash as like us only her OH is working at present and she's expecting their 3rd bub..Do you think she'd be offended if I cooked her up a carrot cake with the carrots and a cheese & potato pie with the potatoes to show her they are ok or should I just cook them for her and say nothing??

Yategirl

difficult one.... I'd want to so that she would realise that they are perfectly usable but there is the possibilty that she wouldn't eat them if she knew...... Think I would make them and not tell her tbh! Tis very kind of you

morwenna

OOh, that's a tricky one - but I think I would make them and not tell her in the end. Even though she doesn't get wise...
What a nice thought though!
