Why this baking tin earns its place
Individual pastry work requires precision from your equipment. The Masterclass Crusty Bake shallow pan is designed for exactly this: at only 14 mm deep, it's proportioned for mince pies, jam tarts, Yorkshire puddings, and canapés. The perforated base design is where it earns its place in a professional kitchen. Each individual pastry case sits over a hole, so air circulates underneath — pastry bases crisp up properly instead of steaming soft. This is the difference between "homemade" and "properly finished."
Carbon steel with a protective non-stick coating means your pastry releases cleanly without sticking or tearing. The fluted tray creates six individual compartments, and the perforations run through each one. You proof six perfect cases, they bake six ways, and they come out six times the same — that's what consistency looks like. At 240 × 320 mm, the tray fits standard-sized ovens and racks without fuss.
The shallow profile also means faster baking — mince pies and jam tarts don't need long in the oven, and a shallower tray means better heat transfer and more predictable results. Stackable for storage, dishwasher safe for service clean-down, and built to handle the daily work of a professional kitchen.
