FAQs

Are these tins dishwasher safe?

No, these cake tins are not dishwasher safe. To maintain their finish and prevent damage, please hand wash them with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.

What are the dimensions of each tin?

The set includes three tins with the following approximate dimensions: 250mm (diameter) x 150mm (height), 223mm (diameter) x 120mm (height), and 195mm (diameter) x 105mm (height).

Can I bake directly in these tins?

No, these tins are designed for storage purposes only and are not suitable for baking.

What is the material of the tins?

The tins are made from durable tin material.

How should I store the tins when not in use?

The tins are designed to nest within each other, allowing for compact and convenient storage.

What is the design on the tins?

The tins feature the classic William Morris Strawberry Thief design, known for its intricate floral and bird motifs.

Are these tins airtight?

While the tins provide a good seal for general storage, they are not fully airtight. They are best suited for storing baked goods for a few days.

Troubleshooting

Tins are difficult to separate.

Ensure both tins are completely dry and free of any residual moisture or crumbs. Gently twist and pull them apart. If they feel stuck, a very slight expansion or contraction due to temperature changes might be the cause; allow them to reach room temperature and try again.

Design appears faded or scratched.

This can occur with abrasive cleaning. Use only soft cloths and mild soap for washing. For minor scuffs, a soft polishing cloth might help, but deep scratches are permanent.

Rust spots appearing.

Rust can form if the tins are left wet for extended periods. Ensure they are dried immediately and thoroughly after washing. Small rust spots can often be gently removed with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth, followed by immediate drying.
