Below are some tips on caring, using and seasoning your SG Emmett & Son's cake tins.
Cleaning
Hand wash with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and dishwashers. Do not soak for extended periods. Dry thoroughly in a warm oven.
Using
When using the cake tins, line them with baking paper to help prevent sticking.
Seasoning
To season your cake tin, apply a light coating of olive, flax, or vegetable oil, then wipe off the excess to leave a very thin layer—too much oil can cause a sticky finish. Place the tin upside down in a cold oven, then heat to 230–260°C. Bake for 20 minutes, then allow it to cool completely. For best results, repeat the process 2–3 times.
Why do my cake tins need seasoning?
SG Emmett & Son's cake tins are crafted from tin-plated steel and require seasoning to prevent rust, thus extending their lifespan, and to develop a natural non-stick surface.
