A question about : Baking Trays
Now first off, I'm not sure about the terminology. I talking about the kind of tray which I drizzle some oil onto to cook home-made chips, roasted veg, a couple of chicken breasts which I've stuffed, a frozen kiev, that kind of thing.
Well I'm not sure if it's a false economy, but we get through them so fast, and they don't clean well after a bit. It's my wife's choice, she's a not spend much person, whereas I prefer to buy better which lasts. I'm hoping this an be added to the list of economies of buying decent pots/pans, decent knives, etc.
So the latest one has bit the dust, can barely be cleaned... Are better ones worth the money? Ј15-20 instead of Ј3 kinda cost.
I'm hoping better ones would be easier to clean too, reducing the need for the 'overnight soak' in the washbowl.
Best answers:
- You need silver anodised bakeware. I've had mine for years and years and it still looks as good as new, you can scour it, bash it, scrape it, it's just fab. Buy a good make like Alan Silverwood. I think Delia has her own version and I know John Lewis sell a good range.
Edit, I just googled and I see Alan Silverwood makes the Delia range.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Delia-Silver.../dp/B00BNAEN5E - I had the same problem a while ago, when I literally got through 2 baking trays in the same week (and one was only a month old!). I bought a more expensive one, from Homesense I think, and it's still going strong now. I'm one of the 'spend a little more if it'll last me a lot longer' kind of people like you, so I thought it was worth a try!
Best advice I can give you, as silly as it sounds for something as small as a baking tray - read online reviews. Search for some on sites like Amazon and House of Fraser, and see what people have written in the reviews. It's worth the extra 5 minutes, if the general consensus is that the product's good then I'd go for it!
