Cake tins?

[Life is Good]

Does anyone know where I can buy round, deep (3inch plus), NOT non-stick and NOT spring-form cake tins?

I am making my boy's Christening cake and I can't seem to find regular, deep tins anywhere! Any online or IRL shop suggestions would be wonderful.

TIA

have you been to a cake shop that hire then??

[Life is Good]

Thanks Olive. Ideally I would like to buy them new - I figure I will use them a fair bit as I am trying to get into cake-making and decorating. I may phone around and see if any of the specialist cake-shops can help me. Thanks.

I have one..I think I got mine from one of the cheaper cookware places. Try somewhere like Home Essentials, places that don't sell top of the line stuff.
As Olive said, perhaps a cake shop may let you hire one??

maybe pm rouge as she may know someone online that sells them

Yeah check out the cake places. I bought the cake tin for Emily's birthday brand new, or you can hire them out.

There should be cake decorating stores near you. Just call and ask. Although I have to say other than small tins Deep spring form tins aren't that common. Professional tins are just as good though without being spring form.

Have you tried "General Trader"?

It is a pretty well equiped cooking/baking/homewares store (well, at least here in Adelaide). I know they are some in Queensland, too.

Good Luck!!

Spotlight? They have a great cake section here. Heaps of tins

I know you want new ones but what about Vinnies or the Sallies? I've inherited all my Nans old ones, so i'm sure others would pass them on.

Not sure what you have in Brisbane....but Cuisine World, Cut IT Out, Kitchen Witch, any of those stores will have one.

Basically and proper chef supply store - so where the TAFEs send their apprectices to get kitted They will have only things that aren't non-stick

I have chef friend in Brisbane, I will ask him and let you kow if you like.

ETA: If you don't mind second hand though there are usually tons on EBay...but you can never be sure of the quality.

Professional tins that aren't non stick rock way better anyway!

Have been told Executive Chef at Southbank should have what you are after

ok so sorry about hi-jacking your thread but can I ask why non-stick tins are better? cause I am sick of the non-stick on mine wearing off and looking at replaceing them.

TIA

I have my mum's old cake tins and they are great!! I have a very deep round NON spring form one but have no idea where it came from cause its old.

[Life is Good]

Thanks so much ladies! Rouge, I agree - the best cakes come out of the old-fashioned bakeware

I will also have a look at Spotlight.

Limeslice, you have been very helpful. I will check out their website and pop around to stock up!

Kelebek, I am not sure exactly why the non-stick aren't much good. I read somewhere that any dark bakeware isn't great to bake with (something about heat distribution) and some of the non-stick stuff is quite dark. I can't really vouch for this, though it does make sense. I also don't really see the point in using non-stick, because I find they still stick! So I end up greasing and lining mine with baking paper anyway.

Have you tried the "General Trader"?

It's a pretty good cooking/baking/homewares store. I think they are in Brissy,too. Just google "General Trader Kitchenware " to find the store locations!

Good Luck!

Kelebek - there is few reasons, but for me the biggest is what you mentioned - the non-stick comes off - and that stuff is NASTY. The chemicals and bonding agents they have to use to get the non-stick to stick to the pan in the first place is really sick, and when they are heated at high temperatures, the chemicals transfer (bit like BPA in plastics) - that is why is you heat your dry non-stick fry pan on the stove too long you get that revolting weird taste on your eggs. It is vile.
People often wash their bakeware with soap and hot water (which they shouldn't) but the soap residue is very bad for the non stick coating and can cause it to degrade, which also means trnasferance to your food.
The basic reason though is that it is unnecessary - if you grease and line your tins properly then you shouldn't need it. (And the cooking with less fat argument I hear from people is really quite silly - the amount of flour and butter you use to line your tin with is negligible )

So yeah! lol That's why non-stick sux.

ebay? I bought most of my (20 something) cake tins from ebay they are good, deep and solid and non stick.
