Not only does it heat up nice and quickly, but the heat is distributed evenly throughout the tin to turn out perfectly even bakes every single time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore than meets the eye\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe know you like your baking tins to look the part, even if it doesn’t affect how well your bakes turn out – or does it? The smooth satin finish achieved during the anodising process isn’t just there to look pretty – although it does that too of course – it actually seals and hardens the outer layer, giving it an easy-release, easy-clean surface that won’t peel or rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrong and durable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the tin actually improves over time as it builds a layer of naturally non-stick patina – makes a change from the ‘non-stick’ tins of old, many of which start to lose their non-stick layers over time. Strong, sturdy and durable, you can count on this tin not to buckle or warp. And although it might sound heavy – given its heavy-duty qualities – it’s surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to retrieve from the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical-free coating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe coating doesn’t feature any PTFE or POFAs, so it’s always safe to use.

In the 1950s they introduced the Mermaid brand, which has remained a staple in British bakeware ever since. Known for their high quality and ability to make consistently great bakes in a reduced amount of time, these tins are everything a home baker could wish for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo this day, every product Samuel Groves produces is hand-finished and many of the skills and techniques used back in the 1800s are still being used in their factory today – well, 200 years of experience is hard to argue with.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mermaid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61473428930890,"sku":"33137","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/8108\/4234\/files\/33137_1.jpg?v=1774903275","url":"https:\/\/www.lakeland.co.uk\/products\/samuel-groves-mermaid-silver-anodised-loose-based-18cm-fluted-flan-tin","provider":"Lakeland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
