Poorly chicken

[kerryegg]

After a succession of useless non stick baking dishes, for meat, potatoes and veg etc,not cakes, I have decided I perhaps need to spend a bit more and get some decent stuff. Any recommendations?

Thanks for any help.

well one thing I would say is not to go for the sillicone ones - the sponges don't rise properly. I do have an excellent springform tin from ikea of all places, which is excellent and my tin of choice at the moment. I don't even have to grease and flour it like i usually would.

I've just bought some new ones from Tesco of all places - and they are magnificent. I too have been disappointed with the silicone ones.

Just grease them properly and you should be ok.

A good place to hunt for tins is TK MAXX. I have picked up some good stuff for a lot less money - in fact i think half my kitchen cupboard has come from there! I tend to use ceramics for a lot of oven cooking - they do very good deals on Le Creuset.

Lakeland's own brand Cook and Bake are very good.

 

I love my silicone moulds, though.

[debbier]

I use some silicone moulds for cakes that are odd shapes, e.g. bundts, mini heart shapes, madeleines etc.

I find the non-stick or anodised aluminium fine for normal, larger cakes in circles or loaves, as long as they are lined.

 

However, the OP was talking of roasts?

 

I use the normal enameled ones, stainless steel, and mermaid. The Mermaid ones were *very* expensive, and although good, I don't think were worth the extra premium. They supposedly don't warp, but mine have They are all not too bad to clean. I especially like the stainless steel one, which is large and and has a built in rack.

 

I'd second the rec for TK Maxx. I have a US sized non-stick cookie tray (which only just fits in my oven, so check sizes) and is great, if you hunt through their stuff. I've also bought some decent stuff from House of Fraser.

I have some brilliant roasting tins & baking sheets,which are silicone coated, & are totally non-stick.

Got them from John Lewis I think

Have now got some mail order from Procook, half price sale.Brilliant so far, just roast veg to go with bar-be-cue,can't wait to try yorkshire pudding. Trouble is, there are so many lovely things in their sale. I must resist.

Is the whole ProCook chain in receivership ? Our local Norwich store has shutdown..

They closed all their shops last year when the management & shareholders took over, so they could cut overheads with the focus on internet & factory outlet sales. Shame, but understandable.

Actually,I bought them in JL,but they are made by Pyrex.

Totally recommended

I have 3 Pyrex non-stick large bread pans and they really are non-stick. So non-stick that I have never had to wash them, the bread just falls out with no greasing required. I use them about 3 times a week.

[Cinnamon]

I agree - they are the best I have ever used,& I am certainly going to add to my collection of them soon

I think I got mine in the large local Tesco actually,not John Lewis.....

 

Another bonus is that they are well designed to be as easy as anything to lift out of the oven,with great handle areas.

Mine came from Tesco too, but they have not had them since. They do usually have a few other tins in the range though.

 

Edited to thank Sarah for the link. It seems that there are a few other local stockists for me to try
