This large, flat and rigid tin is a real kitchen essential. It can be slid easily in and out of the oven and is perfect for making meringues, gingerbread men, shortbread, scones, biscuits and cookies as well as bread shaped by hand. It is ideal to use as a pre-heated support for shaped moulds, oven dishes and acts as a base for flan rings and cake hoops. The wide rim on the outside of the tin, featuring heat-resistant silicone inserts for added grip, makes lifting a full tin easier and safer, especially when taking to and from a hot oven. Awarded Gold for ‘Best Cookware' in the prestigious House Beautiful Awards 2013, Le Creuset Bakeware delivers excellence in design, quality, function and product innovation
