The Kit

Yorkshire Pudding Tin

A Yorkshire pudding tin is a shallow tin normally with four circular indents in which to cook the batter . These indents are larger in diameter than the ones found in a normal cake tin but much shallower . These tins will be non-stick so the batter can rise and be released easily from the tin . They are normally made from hard anodised or carbon steel to withstand the high temperatures needed to cook a successful Yorkshire Pudding .

Le Creuset Bakeware 4 Cup Yorkshire Pudding Tray Harts Price £ 24.00

Baking Sheet / Tray

A baking tray is a very shallow tray with a thin base for oven baking and normally has a non-stick surface . Baking trays are commonly rectangular to fit the oven shelves , but some can be square . A baking sheet is similar to the baking tray , but without the sides to ease the removal of baked goods , there may be a grip or small lip on one or two sides of the sheet to avoid it slipping out of your hand when removing from the oven . As with other bakeware , the materials used for trays and sheets include silver anodised , hard anodised and carbon steel .

Flan / Quiche Tin

Flan and quiche tins are round , shallow tins for baking flans and quiches . The edges of the tins are fluted for decoration and will feature two grip handles either side of the tin . As with the cake tins , some may have loose bases which make serving very easy , but because of the fluted decoration , this can make the tin an attractive feature to take straight to the table to serve your guests . Materials for these tins include silver anodised , hard anodised and carbon steel .

Roasters and Racks

Roasters are used to roast meat and vegetables in the oven and can be square , rectangular , oval or round . The roaster may feature a lip or handle on either end to make lifting easier . A rack is a wire frame that sits inside the roasting tin , which allows food to be suspended above the bottom of the tin allowing juices and fats to drain away . These can vary in size according to the pan it needs to fit into . Both the roaster and racks can be made from hard anodised or carbon steel . Other materials used for the roasters include glass and stoneware . Circulon Bakeware Roaster With Rack & External Side Handles Harts Price : £ 25.60

These are used for more specialist , delicate baking and feature intricate shapes and patterns moulded to a specific design .
