Non-Stick Carbon Steel Bakeware Rectangular Cake Tin, 33 cm, Black, 46079330010000

I was a little skeptical about spending that much on a roasting tin but this has been great! Cleans well, cooks well and is very sturdy. The material makes it a little heavy which takes some getting used to, but everything else seems to be great.

I've collected various Le Creuset ceramic casserole and baking dishes of varying sizes and colours over the years and have always been really pleased with the quality, and more importantly for me how easily they are cleaned - even where food is really baked on it’s never a problem. They are so well made and they’re a real pleasure to use. Therefore I didn't have any concerns whatsoever when I saw they'd brought a new bakeware range out and bought five individual pieces, sight unseen. They're brilliant. I can honestly say in all the years I have been (reluctantly) cooking every day for my family that this is without doubt the best bakeware I've ever used – every tin I’ve bought over the years I’ve hoped would work like these ones, but they never have. I've so far made Yorkshire puddings, roast chicken and gammon, roast potatoes, Calzone's, and various other bits and pieces and nothing has stuck, not even a little bit. Even the baked on tomato passata from the Calzones just wiped off with kitchen towel. I've always bought decent quality kitchenware, and the roasting tin replaces my Mermaid brand tin (which I thought was supposed to be the best, and which at £35 was twice the Le Creuset price) but which weekly left me seething as I yet again tried to chisel my joint and roast potatoes out of it. I'm saving up for a set of Le Creuset saucepans now, and do you know their products are that good that I wouldn't even mind if Santa left me some this year!

So Le Creuset probably make the best products for your kitchen right? I had already bought their cast iron griddle and that was great. Luckily I picked this up in a sale and I'm thoroughly impressed. Forget all these cheap non stick products covered in unsafe and questionable chemical materials. My goose fat roast potatoes have never cooked so well and taste amazing. I also cook a Moroccan Chicken recipe a lot and with my old tin the baked on black residue would be a pain to clean off. With this tin you don't even need to soak it nor do you need an abrasive sponge. Just a sponge and soapy water is all you need. I always think that buy cheap and buy twice! I reckon this will last in an excess of a decade easily with the correct care - probably longer. Well pleased with it.

Excellent

I've got several items from this range and they are all excellent quality. Not cheap, but much better than any other bakeware I've found. The metal is really thick and the non-stick surface is excellent too.

Excellent nonstick baking tray that is suitable for all ovens and cookers. It is sturdy without being heavy so it is easy to take out of the over and place straight on a heated ring. The 2 orange tabs on each end do not heat up. It’s the easiest tray to clean. The only drawback is that it’s not dishwasher safe. It is also extremely good value for your money

The nonstick coating lasted about 5 months with regular use. After this time it just went downhill. No matter if I soaked it using non-abrasive pads, it still did not clean well at all. As for this lifetime claim, good luck with that.

This range of Le Creuset bakeware is outstanding, although exspensive, it is well worth the cost simply for the after clean-up alone. Simply dunk in warm soapy water - wait for few minues and even the toughest product releases from the surface. Baking results are excellent.
