"Great for big parties!" star star star star star I made a huge cake with two of these 28cm Pushpan tins for a family party and they came out brilliantly. I did line the tins, as I would always do with a big cake. Just double the ingredients for a normal 20cm cake and it's about right; so I used 8 eggs instead of 4 in my chocolate fudge cake recipe.
"Generally disappointed" star star star_border star_border star_border I was given 2 of these as a gift for Christmas and have had nothing but bad experiences. The base is so hard to push out, even after repeated washes and oiling. I've had cakes stick fast to the base, so I now fully line everything. I mistakenly put them in the dishwasher once and the results were ugly! These are not dishwasher safe, which, in this age, is very surprising. A bit of oil seemed to help with the tarnished appearance, but they aren't shinning any more. Overall I'm not surprised Lakeland are discontinuing them, they are a bit naff! support_agent A note from the team Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry that you'd been disappointed with the tins, I'll be in touch shortly.
"Works a treat, just follow the instructions" star star star star star This review is for an older version of this product I was almost put off buying this product by the one review available at the time, as the reviewer had had some difficulties with it. However, in the end it was the only 11 inch cake tin I could find at short notice. I followed the instructions about washing, drying & oiling it & used it to make a carrot cake the following day. Although it says there's no need to grease it for cooking I was nervous for the first use so brushed on a bit of Cake Release. My cake turned out very even, released smoothly (after leaving to cool as directed) & the tin washed up easily. I could not be more
"Pushpan 11"" star star_border star_border star_border star_border I bought the 11 inch pushpan to make the botom tier of my daughter's wedding cake.When it arrived it was almost impossible to push the base through. I was worried that I would bend it, it was so stiff. Even when I turned it upside down and pushed hard with both hands it wouldn't budge. It eventually came out at an angle , which would have ruined a cake. Following the instructions I lightly oiled it and the base went back in. However a few minutes later when I tried to get it out again it was stuck fast again. I eventually got it out and will only be able to use it if I remove the silicone support_agent A note from the team Thanks for your review. Our buyers advise washing and drying the pan before use. Then coat the inside of the pan and the base with a small amount of oil and push the base into the pan. Pushing the base in and out of a dry pan will stiffen the resistance. Then follow the instructions on the PushPan packaging to bake your cake and remove it from the pan. We’ll be in touch to help.
