CAKE BAKING TIN

A cake pan is defined by its composition of the metal, heat-proof glass, silicone, enameled metal, or ceramic that is safe for baking in the oven. The vast majority of metal cake pans now offer non-stick surfaces for easy release. Cake pans are engineered to create ideal textures in baking. There are a wide variety of cake pan types to achieve different cake styles and sizes.  

The tinned steel pan is made from sheets of steel that have been covered with a thin coat of tin, which makes it a good conductor of heat. The tin coating allows the bakeware to heat slowly and evenly.  Stainless-steel or tin provides better results if the oven temperature is reduced by 10°C. These tins usually have straight sides and sharp corners. and also tinned steel pan will darken after extended use, which may have an effect on baking times. The tin will rust, so dry thoroughly after washing. Special care must be taken to prevent tinned steel pan from rusting. It should be washed in hot soapy water and then dried thoroughly. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive materials to clean tinned steel. It should then be placed in a warm oven and allowed to dry completely. 

 

Aluminum is usually the most popular and expensive, which has the best result because it cooks quickly with an even distribution of heat ensuring a cake will cook evenly throughout, and will not dry out on the bottom and sides or burn before the center is cooked. And also aluminum pan won’t rust, but it will dent if you drop it. And these pans are the best inlining with baking parchment paper because they are not non-stick. Aluminized steel is durable, with the same heat distribution but some of the brands have the tendency to rust, so wipe with a damp cloth after using and dry off in the turned-off oven. Some pans have a ridged base which works like a non-stick surface, making turning out cakes foolproof. Stainless steel pans will get hot quickly, making it hard to give the even heat distribution in the pan, and they also rust. If this is the only type of pan that you have, it is suggested to lower the oven temperature by 10°C (50°F) and put a baking tray underneath the cake tin to help even the heat distribution. Cheap cake tins are problematic, but many of us use them. A dull material is better than a shiny one because the latter gets hotter more quickly and can cause the outside and bottom of a cake to dry out or burn. If you have to choose between dark colors, grey is better than black and a thicker metal pan is preferable to a thinner one. A good cake tin can last a lifetime, a cheap one surely will not. And a good cake tin helps ensure a good result.

 

Tinned pans come with different types of shapes and forms. Like heart-shaped pans, Heart-shaped cake pans are best to prepare for special events like Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, engagement parties, and weddings. by using this type of pans to bake your themed cake, you will have a perfectly-shaped and symmetrical result. And also springform pan. A springform pan is a two-piece baking pan. The collar or the outside rim makes up the sides and has a latch on it which opens and closes and makes it easy to unmold a baked cake or dessert without damaging the sides of it. The bottom is a flat circle which fits inside the rim snugly when the latch is closed.

 

Apart from baking pans, here are essential tools in baking:

 

Oven

It is one of the most important and must have baking essentials tools because it is where you bake your cakes.

 

Whisker

Whisks add in the air when you’re blending ingredients such as eggs and whipping cream.

 

Rolling Pin

A rolling pin is a cylindrical food preparation utensil which helps you to shape and flatten dough.

 

Spatula

It is used for stirring, mixing, scraping, or spreading. I recommend using silicone spatulas. These types of spatula are flexible and can be used at high temperatures.

 

Weighing Scale

A kitchen weighing scale helps you with accurate measurements. It is important to be as precise as possible when it comes to measuring the ingredients. 

 

Digital Timer

Use it to know exactly when your cakes are done, so you don’t burn them when you’re multitasking.

 

Cooling Racks

A cooling rack is used to allow air to circulate freely to cool baked goods and to prevent them from getting soggy from condensation.

 

Baking Trays

Start with just 2 baking trays in the beginning. The heavier the bottom, the better it is for baking. The heavy bottom allows even distribution of the temperature and hence even baking. You will find a lot of cheaper baking trays with compromised weight and material. I suggest investing in a good and long life tins and trays.
