MasterClass Mini Tart Tins with Pastry Tamper and PTFE, PFOA and BPA Free Non Stick, 24 Hole Mini Tart Tray, Robust 1 mm Thick Carbon Steel, 35 x 27cm (14 x 11''), Grey

Excellent quality

OK, on the packaging and advert, rather than the tin! This is a superb, and hefty tin that makes decently size mini appetisers and cakes. I've just made 72 mini muffins, and my only complaint is that I could have done with 3 trays, rather than baking them in 3 separate batches. The cake mixture I used would normally fill 18 standard size muffin tins or a two-layer 8"/20cm cake, and I could have easily made 84 mini muffins using of this tin (but chose to make some standard ones with my remaining mix). Each mould takes about a teaspoon of mixture (with average rising agent). I would advocate picking a slightly dense recipe, reducing the temperature by 10-20 degrees. My muffins cooked perfectly in 13 mins at 160 degrees. I did spray the tin using Wilton Bake Easy Non Stick Spray for ease, but you could just as easily use a little oil (Fry LightSunflower Oil Spray is good) and a light dusting of flour, though after a few uses I think this will need very little preparation. It washes up really well, with nothing more required than hot water and a brush or sponge, so although it may be dishwasher proof, I'm opting to hand wash it to prolong the non-stick coating.

OH MY WHERE DO I BEGIN!!!! I’ve created some of the FINEST crumbliest tiny party food tarts with this tin. It’s so weighty and full of quality. You can make the most beautiful thin pastry with the tool. I see lots of people are struggling…nothing to do with the tools…they need to improve their technique. From sweet and savoury mini tart cases, this really has got you covered. I am the envy of my dinner party friends with my intricate creations, this has propelled me in social circles. It’s life changing, it really is. No longer am I aspiring to be that dinner party host that people envy…I AM THAT DINNER PARTY HOST. It’s just wonderful my friends, wonderful. Chow!

Surprisingly heavy duty baking tray. Was perfect for bite size tarts

Perfect for party food. I made mini quiche in very little time!

This is a fantastic piece of kit! We have just made 24 apple and toffee pies and 48 mini buns for bonfire night. The pastry has cooked to perfection and the buns are even throughout. A little tip for you: I couldn't find cooking times for the buns so if you usually bake 12 for about 17 minutes on 180-190 degrees c then these take (in petit four cases) around 12 minutes at 180 degrees c. I can't wait to make mini mince pies for Christmas and might have to buy another one now my husband has used it!

I made over two hundred tarts with this pan before Christmas, specifically, mini pecan butter tarts. I got a professional quality finish and could not be happier. Some tips: Weigh your dough balls. 6g of shortcrust gives you a perfect shell. Roll it into a ball, flour the tool, center it and slowly but firmly press down, you may need to wiggle a bit and adjust the angle and pressure as needed until the dough reaches the top of the hole evenly all the way around. Gently wiggle the tool free and you have a perfect pastry case, just the right thickness. I could not be happier with the results I got, and highly recommend this tray.

I purchased this because of the excellent reviews and it did not disappoint. The non stick is incredible, I have used it a number of times for different bakes and each time the tarts/pies have released with ease (even with very thin pastry). A previous review mentioned using 6g of pastry which was a brilliant hint. I will be looking at others in the range as the quality is so good.
