Tins and Trays for Baking Buying Guide

Baking can be a fun filled activity if you have the right tools. Choosing the right baking tray is a crucial step in the baking process. Tins and trays are essential to make baked food crispy, tasty and healthy.

Material Types

  • Glass bakeware is ideal for baking breads, tarts and pies. 
  • Metal or steel pans are ideal for brownies and cakes. Baking tins made from high grade steel provides excellent heat conduction.
  • Aluminium and stainless steel tins and trays are ideal for cakes and cookies with less cocoa or sugar. Hard anodised finish makes the bake ware abrasion resistant. It can be used with metal tools and won't peel or flake.

Style and Design

  • Shape: Baking trays with shallow sides and solid bottom would be the right choice for roasting vegetables like parsnips and potatoes. Cake tins should have a minimum of four centimetres depth for making light and spongy cakes. The spring form mechanism in cake tins allows you to remove the cake without much of a fuss after baking. 
  • Design: Tins and trays used for baking should be able to withstand extremely hot temperatures. Roasting tins with a raised rack allows fat to drain away for healthier cooking. Baking trays and sheets can be used like a base in pre-heated ovens to keep the bases of pastries like quiches and pies very crisp. Loaf tins are made greaseproof for improved presentation, this also keeps your bread from dying out as it allows it to cool more slowly.
