Tefal Easy Grip Springform Baking Tray 27cm Nonstick Carbon Steel J1626345

Our review

This is a 27cm springform baking tray from Tefal, part of the Easy Grip range, made in carbon steel with a nonstick coating on both the inner and outer surfaces. The springform design means the side ring releases and lifts away from the base, so cakes, cheesecakes and other delicate bakes come out without being inverted or coaxed loose. The large handles are the other defining feature: they give you something substantial to hold when moving a filled pan in and out of the oven or when opening the clamp. It suits home bakers who make round cakes regularly and want a pan that is easier to handle than a basic tin with a small latch. Before buying, check that 27cm matches the diameter your recipe assumes, since springform sizes are usually quoted by the base or the top rim and the two are not always identical. Also confirm your oven has room for the handles, as they add width beyond the pan itself. Compared with a fixed round cake tin, a springform trades some simplicity for cleaner release; compared with cheaper springforms, the difference tends to show in how firmly the ring seals and how durable the coating feels. Hand wash and avoid metal utensils to protect the nonstick surface. Available on Sokonia.
