12cm Loose Base Heart Flan Tart Dish

Alan Silverwood manufacture bakeware from Alsil, a high quality alloy which has been anodised to produce a smooth, easy clean finish. Alsil does not need to be seasoned before first use. An initial wash in warm soapy water is all that is required.

Various fats and oils may be used to "grease" our pans. Which one is best depends largely on the recipe being prepared, but here are a few basic hints:

IMPORTANT NOTE: They have made extensive enquiries about ground-nut-oil in relation to nut allergies. Our understanding is that PURE ground nut oil will not affect sufferers. However, this cannot currently be recommended as totally safe.

Lard is an excellent release agent and can be used in most circumstances. (Avoid if baking for vegetarians).

Olive Oil: Although many savoury recipes include olive oil as an ingredient, it is a poor release agent and if used to grease pans may build-up to form a sticky film which is difficult to remove. AVOID.

Commercial release sprays: There are several cooking release sprays on the market, often available in aerosol form. Although apparently designed to be used on bakeware, after frequent use some of these sprays will build-up a residue which will spoil the release properties of bakeware (even causing traditional PTFE non-stick to fail). Alan Silverwood do not currently recommend any commercial release spray.
