Master ClassCrusty Bake Fluted Round Flan/Quiche Tin, 20x3cm, Sleeved

Have been looking at these tins for a while, but couldn’t justify buying yet another tin, however my small quiche tin was showing signs of wear so didn’t hesitate to try one of these. Have only cooked quiche in it so far and the only gripe I have is I wish it was just a bit deeper. Quiche cooked well, bottom didn’t puff up and was crispy. It slipped out of the tin no problem and tin needed just a rinse afterwards. Actually I could have wiped it round with paper towel. Happy to recommend!

A lovely, good quality find! My first ever fruit tart came out better than I could have imagined and was a huge success with my friends - the size was just right for three people to have a double portion each! The loose bottom made removing the tart from the pan a flawless endeavour. And as the pan has holes on the bottom and sides, the dough came out crusty and delicious all the way - not even a tiny bit soggy. So, once we were done eating, I was able to just pop the pan into the dishwasher, forget all about it, and bask in the sweet delight of an easy win. I am very much looking forward to using it again soon!

Best tins ever. The heavy weight cooks the pastry nicely. Drop the sides off by standing on a bean tin 10 minutes after removing from oven then let the flan cool right down if eating cold and slip the fish slice under to free the bottom. Good results every time.

I've always made quiche-type food in fluted ceramic dishes. Almost invariably I use shortcrust because it blinded bakes well and avoids the soggy bottoms that can occur with puff pastry. I saw this pan, or something very similar, on Junior Bakeoff and have to admit that I'd never seen a perforated fluted pan before. A couple of days later it arrived and I made a puff pastry quiche. I'm not a great cook, but it was stunningly good and perfectly evenly baked. An apple tart turned out equally well. The loose bottom makes it so easy to release the food without any drama. This is fine for our (fairly greedy) family of two but you may want to go up a size. A warning that if you put it in the dishwasher, as I did, it WILL rust, but it's easily cleaned by hand.

I am not a great baker, but with ready rolled pastry, a tub of baking beans (from amazon) and this great flan tin, I made a very successful cheese flan.The flan was released from the tin very smoothly (stand it on a tin of beans or something and the side just drops away).Well worth paying a bit extra for. Just remember it has a loose bottom when taking it out of the oven - hold the side!
