What do you use to line cake tins

I do mine with greaseproof paper and I hate it, especially when you get near the end of the roll and it's all curly. here in Spain i haven't seen anything other than greaseproof paper, but OH is visiting England in a couple of weeks, so he can get me something more up to date
What do you recommend.

I don't line my cake tins. I just grease then cover a layer of flour over the tin.IYSWIM. My cakes never stick.

If you know your tin sizes you can get liners from several places. I know Julian Graves do them as do the Range and 99p stores it would just be a case of finding one near where you visit. I like them because it means they're like a great big cup cake case, meaning the tin needs less washing up.

I bought a couple of rolls of Magic Liner from Lakeland. I then cut it to size for my favourite tins. It wasn't cheap to start with, but has saved me a fortune on paper liners.

Best of all, flapjack and brownies just slide off :T :j

I always grease the tin with some margarine before lining it with greaseproof paper, so it sticks to the tin and doesn't try to roll up again. I've never had a problem when I do this.

I'll second this one. I bought a couple of rolls, and cut to size to fit a few of my fave tins.

Emily,
I normally use greased greaseproof paper but I've made a cake tonight which called for the method you use and it won't come out! It looks like we're going to have to eat it out of the tin. I'm just hoping that leaving it in the tin won't affect it at all.

I use baking paper - shinier than greaseproof. Also sold as parchment or silicone paper.

When you get the end of a roll, simply roll the paper in the opposite direction - back on itself, if you see what I mean.

Whether or not you need to line your cake tins is usually down to the type of cake you are making, and maybe the type of tin you have,

For fruit cakes you definitely need to line, because the long slow cooking will burn the edges of an unlined cake.

I normally use baking parchment and I have a selection of the precut baking parchment squares and circles (and even the loaf tin liners). They do a narrow roll which I cut to line the sides.

I see that a number of people mention the magic liner. Did you know that Lakeland now also do ones pre-cut to cake tin sizes? Not just for the bottom, the one liner covers the bottom and the sides, and they look like a really good investment.
