Product Information

Full details

The Samuel Groves Mermaid Sandwich Cake Tin is ideal for home bakers and professionals alike who prioritize consistent heat distribution and longevity in their kitchen tools. Its primary benefit is the superior thermal conductivity of the silver-anodised aluminum, which significantly reduces baking time and ensures uniform results, though it does require hand-washing to maintain its specialized finish.

FAQs

Is this tin dishwasher safe?

No, this tin should be hand-washed only to preserve the integrity of the anodised surface.

What does 'loose-base' mean?

It means the base of the tin is a separate disc that pushes up, allowing you to remove the cake without turning the tin upside down.

Does the tin contain non-stick chemicals?

No, it is free from PTFE and PFOA chemicals.

How do I maintain the non-stick surface?

The surface develops a natural patina through regular use. Avoid harsh scrubbers and keep the surface dry when stored.

Can I use metal tools with this tin?

It is recommended to use silicone or wooden tools to prevent scratching the surface.

Where are these tins manufactured?

These tins are proudly made in England.

Troubleshooting

Cake sticking to the sides

Ensure the tin was properly greased before use; as the tin seasons over time, the release will improve naturally.

Discoloration on the surface

Minor discoloration is normal as the natural patina develops; avoid using acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar in the tin.

Tin is difficult to clean

Soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes and use a soft sponge; never use steel wool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first bake, wash the tin in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Although the tin is pre-seasoned, a light coating of oil can help during the first few cycles. Always avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the anodised layer. This tin is compatible with standard conventional ovens but should never be placed in a dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat can ruin the finish and compromise the integrity of the aluminum. Store in a dry place, preferably separated by a soft cloth if stacking to prevent surface abrasions.
