KCMCCB39 Crusty Bake 20 cm Perforated Quiche Tin with PFOA Non Stick and Loose Bottom, Fluted, Robust 1 mm Carbon Steel, Grey

I've bought 2 of these tins. The first one i bought doesn't have a loose bottom and is 2in deep for my bacon quiche, love a deep fully stuffed quiche and a 1in deep loose bottom fluted tin for my lemon meringue pies. I've made a quiche as you can see. I put the pastry lined tin in the freezer for 10mins to prevent shrinkage then blind baked for only 15mins. With a sieve I sprinkled flour on the pastry base to prevent leaking and it cooked to perfection, literally slid out of the tin. I then washed it up and put it back in the oven so the residual heat would thoroughly dry it and prevent any rusting. The other tin I have not tried yet but going on the tin I just used it will be fantastic. I regard myself an excellent cook but with my quiches being cooked in deep glass dishes usually even after blind baking I always struggled to get that crispy bottom in the middle. My quiche was very crispy..all around and even in the middle. If you are a regular pie and tart maker these tins are a must. They take all the guess work out of ' is the bottom cooked properly ' stress 😩 which if you know you know. Highly recommend 👌. This was probably one of the best I've ever made and my hubby was thrilled as its one of his faves. Snatch them up while the price is good 👍 😌.

After many years of being miserly about buying kitchen equipment (I think I read Katharine Whitehorn's 'Cooking in a Bedsitter' at too tender an age), I am a convert to paying out for the good stuff. So although I did baulk slightly at paying £13 for one baking tin, I went for it. I have other pieces of cookware made in this way so I know it to be good on two counts. Firstly, the non-stick is effectively baked onto the metal so there's no leeching (unlike as with Teflon-type coatings), and secondly it really is non-stick - as is evidenced by the five-year guarantee. You don't always get what you pay for (you get what you shop around for), but in this case you do. If you buy cheap non-stick bakeware the surface will wear off however carefully you treat it - and you could end up damaging your health with the chemicals which leech out and into your body. This 'tart tin' was actually bought to be a general purpose baking tin in my tabletop halogen oven (the VonShef Premium halogen oven, purchased here on Amazon). It's absolutely the right size for this and, given that the base can be used on its own (for example for baking bread or biscuits) or as a complete tart tin for everything else, usefully versatile. Finally, of course, there's the truly non-stick quality of pieces made in this way. Everything comes off the base and out of the tin cleanly and without fuss. The perforations mean 'no more soggy bottoms' - and in a halogen oven with a top element this is no mean benefit. Given all the benefits, this is not an expensive buy in reality - so don't hesitate.

It's quite well made but I didn't realise how small it was (must have skimmed past sizing details - I assume they were there). Used it once but not worth the effort for such a little quantity. Relegated to back of cupboard since. Really is too small to be bothered with.

A very good pastry tray for when you want to avoid extra process step faff and get a crisp base easily. Non stick coating is substantial and well applied, has taken the test of time, and the metal my one was made from is far from flimsy. A convenient 2 part release mechanism that works well, particularly if you remembered to grease it prior to assembly. All in, would recommend without hesitation.

I bought this tin specifically to use for making quiche in the hope of avoiding the ubiquitous "soggy bottom" and to save time by avoiding the need to blind bake. I am so pleased to discover that this tin delivers as expected and at last I can quickly bake a quiche without issues. The tin is good quality and it's super easy to remove the quiche after baking with the loose bottom. I would advise putting this tin on a baking tray when in the oven though just in case - I had a small amount of leakage but apart from that my quiche was perfect. No going back!

Bakes a crispy pastry base. No soggy bottoms here. Excellent product.

Trays really good to use for pastry

Great for making pies and flans. Make sure you have the pastry a little thicker than normal
