FAQs

Can I put this tin in the dishwasher?

No, this tin is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to maintain the finish.

What material is the PME Square Baking Tin made of?

It is crafted from high-quality, non-reactive anodised aluminium.

Does the tin come with a non-stick coating?

The tin is made of anodised aluminium which naturally resists sticking, but we always recommend greasing or using parchment paper for easy removal.

Is the tin depth exactly 4 inches?

Yes, the tin features a 4-inch (102 mm) depth, which is ideal for deep, professional-looking sponges.

Can I stack these tins for storage?

Yes, the design is specifically optimized to be stackable, helping you save valuable kitchen cupboard space.

Is this tin suitable for fruit cakes?

Yes, the sturdy aluminium construction is excellent for baking dense cakes like fruit cakes that require long, slow cooking times.

Troubleshooting

Cake sticking to the sides of the tin

Ensure you are using a high-quality cake release spray, butter, or lining the base and sides with parchment paper.

Dark spots or discoloration on the tin surface

This is often caused by acidic ingredients reacting with aluminium. Avoid leaving acidic batters (like lemon) in the tin for extended periods and always wash promptly after use.

Uneven cake top

Use a PME Level Baking Belt around the outside of the tin to ensure the heat is distributed evenly and the sides of the cake rise at the same rate as the center.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sharp, professional-looking cake edges
  • Durable and stain-resistant anodised aluminium
  • Consistent and even baking results
  • Compact and stackable for easy storage

Cons

  • Not dishwasher safe
  • Requires manual cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using your PME baking tin, ensure your oven has the vertical clearance to accommodate the 4-inch height of the pan. For initial preparation, wash the tin in warm soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue.

Care Instructions:

  • Always hand wash using a soft sponge and warm soapy water.
  • Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners that could damage the anodised surface.
  • Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can tarnish the aluminium finish.
  • Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots.
