FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the tins?

The set includes three square tins measuring approximately 8 inches (20.3 x 5 cm), 12 inches (30.4 x 5 cm), and 16 inches (40.6 x 5 cm).

Are these tins non-stick?

The product description does not explicitly state they are non-stick. It highlights the quality aluminum construction for durability and even heating. It is recommended to grease and flour the pans or use baking spray for best results.

Can I use metal utensils with these pans?

While the aluminum is durable, it's best to use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to avoid scratching the surface and prolong the life of the pans.

How deep are the cake tins?

Each pan is approximately 2 inches (50.8 mm) deep.

Can I use these tins in a convection oven?

Yes, these tins are generally compatible with convection ovens. However, always follow your specific oven's guidelines for baking temperatures and potential adjustments for convection modes.

What is the best way to clean these tins?

Wilton advises washing in warm, soapy water before first use and after every use. Avoid using a dishwasher.

Will these tins rust?

Aluminum is generally rust-resistant. However, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh cleaning chemicals could potentially lead to surface changes.

Troubleshooting

Cake sticks to the pan

Ensure the pan is properly greased and floured before adding batter, or consider using a baking spray. Always allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before attempting to remove it.

Uneven baking or browning

Verify that your oven temperature is accurate and that the pan is placed in the center of the oven. Ensure consistent batter distribution within the pan.

Tins appear discolored after washing

This is often a natural reaction of aluminum with certain foods or detergents. Ensure you are using mild soap and a soft cleaning tool. The discoloration typically does not affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, wash the tins in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues. After each use, hand wash the tins using warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the aluminum surface. Ensure the tins are completely dry before storing them to prevent moisture damage. These pans are compatible with most standard oven types. Always allow the tins to cool down before cleaning to prevent thermal shock.
