MasterClass KCMCCB3 Crusty Bake Perforated Baking Tray with PFOA Non Stick, Robust 1 mm Carbon Steel, 39 x 27 cm, Grey

Product Information

So long as you follow those rules, the non-stick is guaranteed for five years, and the tray itself for life. It’s practical improvements, like handy fill lines, making same-shaped pieces stack and adding pouring noses to our roasters, that makes our range outshine most others. The lip around the edges is quite substantial, making it good for gripping (maybe not so great for stacking), and reinforces its rigidity, while its relatively small size is handy if you’re only baking a couple of things at a time – a couple of frozen pastries for breakfast, maybe. Made from heavy-duty carbon steel with a Quantum 2 professional non-stick coating, they give a firm foundation to help your recipes turn out brilliantly.

You can use this one all the way up to 240C, as well as under a grill or over a hob (although it won’t work on induction). The natural ingredients also make it handily recyclable – not that you’ll be getting rid of it any time soon – this tray will stand the test of time. With a really sound and solid feel, it seems like a tray that will go the distance, although modest effort will need to be made to keep those non-stick powers intact long-term (plastic implements, careful storage – the usual).

This silicone baguette baker is oven safe up to 240°C, and are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe, for added versatility and convenient cleaning. I found this tray sticks to the bread and also changes the shape and cooking of the underside of the baguettes. It fits comfortably in my Aga but I would recommend you to make sure it will fit in your oven as it is quite long. Similarly, use plastic utensils and avoid metal ones (once that non-stick surface is scratched, the end is nigh).

That said, you might want to keep an eye on your bake, in case it’s cooked faster than the recipe suggests (Silverwood recommends considering reducing 10-15C and checking in on your bake at around two-thirds of the given cooking time). And while it’s great value for baking things like pastries and biscuits, it’s probably not ideal for some bread or homemade pizzas, as it’s only oven safe up to 220C. Spending just a couple of quid more could make the difference between throwing it out in a year and it lasting for a decade.The tiny holes in this baking tray allow food to bake slightly quicker, as the heat reaches it more easily. The Samuel Groves mermaid hard anodised baking sheet is a great all-rounder that is robust enough to last. At just under 35cm long, it’s a decent size – although would probably only fit four of our super-spreading choc-chip numbers without danger of them merging into one (yes, our cookies are always healthily portioned). Cheap, thin baking trays tend to warp in the heat of the oven and lose their shape, while their non-stick benefits are often short-lived. It makes sense, then, that Circulon is so certain of this bakeware’s non-stick abilities that it’s whacked a lifetime guarantee on it.

Poor heat conduction also makes for uneven baking, while chunky lips around the edges can give you a storage nightmare. Robust and hardy without being too heavy, this British-designed and made sheet has slightly tilted lips around the edges, with handy groves in the corners making it easy and comfortable for gripping with your thumb.The perforations mean that you’ll need baking parchment or a silicone mat – the usual prerequisites, regardless – if you’re making cookies or anything from a similarly wet dough or batter. You could avoid this with less water in the dough or by oiling the mould or the dough but then it is not a baguette! Although super thin, it’s solid and relatively weighty, and the thin lip on one of the long edges is just big enough to give you purchase when picking it up with gloved hands, while small enough that it won’t cause you issues when stacking.
