The Le Creuset 12 Cup Star Tray combines festive design with practical baking performance. Each of the 12 cups is shaped as a five-pointed star, adding visual interest to cupcakes, muffins, mini cakes, or savoury bakes. The heavy-gauge carbon steel construction ensures even heat distribution across all cups, helping to prevent over-browned edges with undercooked centres.

Care
- Before first use: Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Heat setting: Always bake at the temperature the tray is rated for. High heat gives no real benefit and is the single biggest cause of non-stick coatings failing early.
- Utensils: We recommend silicone, wooden or heat-resistant plastic tools. Metal utensils are not recommended, since even a single careless scrape can cause permanent damage to the coating.
- Oven use: Place on a shelf or rack rather than the oven floor, which can increase cooking temperature and lead to damage.
- Washing: We recommend handwashing in hot soapy water after every use, rather than the dishwasher, to protect the coating and help it last.
- Storage: If stacking with other bakeware, place a cloth or protector between pieces to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.
