What do you use to line cake tins

tru

I use ceramic dishes from Ikea and Morrisons for my cakes, they don't need lining, greasing or flouring.

I use magic liner, started with rolls from various places, got some precut for round tins in Aldi a while ago. Very good, also have some parchment liners for 8" tin and for loaf tins.

I use springform nonstick pans; more expensive pans but no need for lining so neater, no waste of liner paper, quicker.

They usually fall off easily when the clasp is released after the cake has relaxed (and shrunk a little) for 20 minutes, and then I remove the baseplate with a long plastic knife.

I can also recommend using spray oil (e.g. the '1cal per spray' type aerosol or pump action) for greasing pans; very quick, good even coverage, no mess, cheap.

Living on Pension Credit I cannot afford expensive liners so I save butter, margarine any fat wrappers and use them cut to size or perhaps in two pieces outside next to tin inside up so that any fat left can also be used instead of using extra to grease.

If you live near a pound shop they often sell bun/cake/loaf tin liners and are better value than lakeland etc. I have been using baking paper but when that is done will be of to the pound shop.....no more faffing around for me!

Morrisons Baking Parchment - quite cheap and even works for really sticky stuff.

had a look at the lakelandsite but they seem to have stopped doing rolls of Magic Liner.but did have a couple of sheets 10x20 inches and 13x39 inches, is that the same?

How do you cut your liners from these, I was trying to see if I could do an ´ all in one´, that would cover the sides as well as the bottom of the tin. Also came across some round ones on Lakeland that you can lift the cake out with

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

I bought one of these rolls years ago but it was too expensive for me to cut:o I just used it for rolling out on etc. Poundland now sell their version and I am more than happy to buy them and now have liners for all of my tins sitting in them ready for use. Much cheaper than greaseproof and I am helping to save the environment:j

This was what my Mum did when I was a little girl in the 1940-50s.
My late ma-in-law also saved the liners from cornflake packets, or loose leaf tea packets.The latter she used to drain off home made chips with from the chip pan.
I swear she knew the No. of every fiver she had ever owned:rotfl: Bless her, she was the old wife from the tales I think. Her cure for a tickly cough was boiled sugar water
