Another lovely baking tin from Masterclass.
I now have 4 different Masterclass baking tins. They are definitely my go to manufacturer for baking tray items.
This is a 20cm/8 inch round tin, with a removable bottom (Photo).
2 of these are what you want for making a perfect sandwich cake, such as a Victoria sponge.
The tin itself is well made. It weighs in at 400 grams, so has a bit of weight to it.
It's made from 2 different thicknesses of steel. With the sides being made from 0.6mm steel, and the base from a more hefty 1mm thick steel. That may not sound that thick, but it is more than adequate for this type of baking tin. There is zero flex in the tin.
It has a depth of 3.5 cm. Perfect for one half of a sandwich cake, but equally great for pies and flans. It makes a perfect lemon meringue pie.
These type of removable bottom tins, are, in effect 'sealed'. The bottom makes an extremely good fit with the lip of the base. If you fill it with water, there will be some slight dripping, but with a cake mix, it is practically sealed and drip proof.
Although, as I'm cautious by nature, it would probably be best to line with parchment/greaseproof paper, if you had a very thin and runny mix.
The tin does have a non-stick coating, although I always give it a wipe around with an oil before pouring in the mix.
As you can see from the photo, the whole bottom lifts out, so removing the cake is very easy. Once cool, just push your hand up through the middle, or, if the sides are a little sticky, place the baking tray onto a food tin, and gently work the sides off.
Overall, this is another well made Masterclass baking tin, that is a great and useful addition to any collection.
I hope you found this review helpful.
