Product Information
Full details
These Caroline 2lb pudding basins are designed for home bakers seeking a convenient way to prepare and serve traditional desserts like pies and Christmas puddings. Their primary benefit is the ease of use and cleanup, being made from recyclable aluminium foil. A minor caveat is that some basins may arrive slightly misshapen due to transit, though this does not impact their cooking function. The pack contains two 155mm x 72mm basins with a 932cc capacity, suitable for deep-dish baking.

FAQs
Can I reuse these pudding basins?

Are these basins suitable for microwave use?
No, these aluminium foil basins are not suitable for microwave use.
How should I prepare the basin before baking?
For best results and to prevent sticking, lightly grease the inside of the basin with butter or cooking oil and lightly dust with flour, especially if baking a cake or pudding.
What are the dimensions of the basins?
The dimensions are approximately 155mm in diameter and 72mm in height.
Can I recycle these basins?

What should I do if a basin is slightly dented?
Minor dents or slight misshaping from transit usually do not affect the functionality of the basin for baking purposes. You can gently reshape it by hand if desired.
Troubleshooting
Basin arrived misshapen
Gently reshape the basin by hand. Minor dents or out-of-roundness do not affect the cooking performance.
Dessert sticking to the basin
Ensure the basin is adequately greased and floured (if applicable to your recipe) before adding the batter. For pies, a light spray of cooking oil can help.
Uneven cooking
Ensure the basin is placed centrally in the oven or steamer for even heat exposure. Check that your heat source is functioning correctly and not too close to the basin sides.
