Bakeware Buyers Guide
Bake Believe
Baking is a science. It’s vital you have the right
kind of bakeware for what you’re making…
Baking Dish
Baking dishes come in a variety of sizes and are generally rectangular,
square or circular. They often have shaped handles on the sides to
aid lifting when wearing oven gloves. Baking dishes can be used for
a variety of tasks including baking, roasting and even serving at the
table. Lasagnes, pies (sweet and savoury) and gratins can all be made
in a baking dish. Available in a variety of materials including cast iron,
stoneware, hard anodised, carbon steel and glass.

Cake Tin
A cake tin will normally be round in shape, but they
are also available as square, rectangular or novelty
shapes. Some feature a loose base for easily removing
the cake while others feature a ‘spring form’ collar
around the tin which expands, allowing the cake to be
released from the tin. Cake tin materials will vary from
silver anodised and hard anodised to carbon steel and
silicone and will mostly have non-stick coatings.

Loaf Tin
Unlike the cake tin, the loaf tin is generally only
rectangular and sometimes feature handles or grips
at each end. Loaf tin materials include silver anodised,
hard anodised and carbon steel. These tins may also
feature a non-stick coating to aid in the release of the
bread from the tin. Traditionally loaves and bread are
made in this type of tin, but they can also be used for
terrines and cakes.

Pudding Basin
A pudding basin is a deep, rounded bowl with a flat base
for stability, sometimes including a lid. Pudding basins are
used for steaming desserts such as Christmas pudding and
steamed puddings. Many pudding bowls are made from
stoneware, but can also be silver anodised, hard anodised
and plastic and can be used safely in a pressure cooker. The
plastic basins are also suitable for use in the microwave.
