FAQs
What size is this cake tin?
The product description does not specify a size for this particular model, but MasterClass offers this deep loose-base design in various diameters. Please check the product packaging or retailer information for specific dimensions.
Can I put this cake tin in the dishwasher?
No, hand washing is recommended to preserve the Quantum II non-stick coating and ensure the longevity of the tin. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh and may damage the coating.
How do I release the cake cleanly?
After baking, allow the cake to cool in the tin on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes. Then, place the tin on a stable surface, turn the collar on the loose base to unlock it, and carefully lift the tin sides away. Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
What is the Quantum II non-stick coating?
Quantum II is a durable, 2-layer non-stick coating designed for excellent food release and easy cleaning, ensuring your baked goods do not stick to the tin.
Is this tin suitable for gluten-free baking?
Yes, the excellent non-stick properties make it suitable for gluten-free recipes, which can sometimes be more prone to sticking or crumbling.
What material is the cake tin made of?
The cake tin is made from 1 mm-thick, warp-resistant carbon steel.
Troubleshooting
Cake sticks to the tin.
Ensure the tin was adequately greased, even with the non-stick surface. Check that the loose base was fully released and that no batter seeped between the base and the tin's edge. Hand wash and dry thoroughly; avoid abrasive cleaners.
Uneven baking or browning.
Ensure your oven is preheated correctly and that the tin is placed in the center of the oven. For deep cakes, consider rotating the tin halfway through baking if your oven has known hot spots.
Non-stick coating appears to be wearing off.
This may be due to washing with abrasive materials or using metal utensils. Always hand wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid scraping the surface.
Loose base is difficult to operate.
Ensure the tin is clean and dry. Gently wiggle the base while turning the collar. If resistance persists, a tiny amount of food-safe lubricant might help, but generally, it should operate smoothly after cleaning.
