Chicago Metallic Professional Non-Stick Round Cake Tin, 20 cm (8"), Metal, Grey

These tins are AMAZING! Thick, heavy and sturdy with rounded, rolled edges and, as one other reviewer said, they’re so non-stick that they’re cake repellant! My cakes didn’t stick at all and they were very easy to clean. I usually buy pricey non-stick tins from Lakeland but I’d say this was much better quality and cheaper. I bought this on the strength of other reviews and wasn’t disappointed. I never thought I’d get excepted about a cake tin but here we are!

I was very wary about purchasing this on impulse, to amateur bake at my boyfriends, as I don’t normally use greaseproof paper (usually through lack of organisation) and largely rely on popping out the bottom or springform tins. I didn’t want to spend much as I already own several so here we are... Tin is thick and made extremely well. Honestly a cake has never come out so seamlessly. Not a crumb stuck, this might be my new favourite. I’ve now purchased a second and can’t believe how cheap it was. Definitely give it a go.

These are good quality baking tins, very strong and thick metal, which is why I was quite surprised that one of them arrived with a large dent in the side. I was in a hurry to use them so went ahead anyway and it worked fine despite the damage. I have only used them once so far but the non-stick worked really well and the cakes came straight out and they were easy to wash by hand afterwards.Be aware that these do not stack inside each other so will take up a bit more storage space than the thinner ones which stack, but they do feel they will last a long time and if you want straight sides then you won’t easily find ones that do stack.I’ve taken off a star purely due to the damage.

I mistakenly ordered three of these when I only needed one, however, they are such good quality I decided to keep the other two and am ditching my older tins. I cooked with them yesterday and they cooked evenly and cleaned up without difficulty.

Completely even bakes with no doming or cracks in sponge. The cake pops straight out of the tin as the non stick is great. I do not miss the springform or loose bottom tins...and especially don’t miss the leaking batter! These are heavy duty and high quality cake tins. Perfect every time.

I'm so happy I bought these! I was weighing up whether to buy one with a spring clasp instead but after reading some reviews of ones that had leaked I decided on this one instead to be on the safe side and I'm so glad I did. The non-stick is really good, they cook evenly, wash easily and were great value for money (I bought 2).

At first glance, these tins are fantastic. They seem to be a large 8" - I bought some paper liners to fit in them and the paper liners are considerably smaller - but they're weighty, feel as though they are extremely good quality, and the rolled metal edges are folded so far under that they are dishwasher-proof.However.Sturdy implies that it would take a lot to damage them, and one arrived with 2 dents in the bottom. Given the price, I was a bit cross, but needed them so didn't have the opportunity to send it back. Will have to wait and see what impact the dents have on the cooking performance and longevity of the tin. I don't know if this was a manufacturing fault, or if it had been knocked or dropped - given how sturdy and strong the tin appears to be, it could even be that someone stepped on it.So docking a star here and there. Would I buy again, dent or no dent? Absolutely.

I bought this cake tin specifically to make upside-down cakes - I have tins with a removable base, but they can leak when making an upside-down cake. I am very impressed by the non-stick on this tin - my cakes have all come away cleanly without any residue at all. I do still use a circle of baking paper inside the base for upside-down cake, as I'm afraid of the fruit sticking, but for normal cakes I wouldn't bother. The tin is solid and sturdy and very easy to clean.
