Nadstar Aluminium Square Tray with 12 Cake Moulds, No16

Our review

This Nadstar tray is a dual-purpose piece of bakeware: a square aluminium pan with twelve moulds built in, sized at 297 mm and weighing 0.65 kg. The listing also describes it as a rectangle baking tray and deep oven pan, so it is aimed at home bakers who want one dish for small cakes, brownies, lasagna or pizza rather than several separate tins. Aluminium heats quickly and evenly, which suits recipes where you want a defined crust, but it is softer than steel, so avoid metal utensils and harsh scouring. Before buying, check that 297 mm fits your oven shelf and that the mould cavities match the portion size you serve. Compare with a plain square tin if you rarely bake individual cakes, or with non-stick coated pans if release is your main concern. Available on Sokonia.
