Each cup typically accommodates standard fairy cake or muffin cases, measuring approximately 6-7cm diameter. This standard sizing suits most cupcake recipes, mince pie recipes, and Yorkshire pudding batters. The 3.5cm depth provides adequate capacity for properly risen bakes without overflow. Check your specific recipe's recommended tin size if uncertain, though this tray suits the vast majority of standard bun and cupcake recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use paper cases with this tin?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, standard cupcake or muffin cases fit perfectly in the cups. Many bakers use cases for fairy cakes and cupcakes for easy removal and attractive presentation, whilst baking mince pies and Yorkshire puddings directly in the non-stick cups without cases. The Whitford Eclipse coating provides excellent release even without cases, giving you the flexibility to use cases or bake directly depending on what you're making. Cases aren't necessary with the superior non-stick coating, but they're compatible when desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this warp in the oven?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, Tala confirms these products will never warp, even after extreme use and high oven temperatures. The heavy-duty 1.0mm thick carbon steel with beautifully rolled edges provides exceptional strength that maintains the tray's shape throughout its lifetime. Standard thinner bun tins (typically 0.4-0.6mm) often warp during heating cycles, creating uneven cups that produce lopsided bakes. The Performance range's robust construction ensures consistent results—all 12 cups maintain their shape and bake evenly every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to grease this tin?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Whitford Eclipse non-stick coating allows baking with little or no added grease or oil. For most applications—fairy cakes in paper cases, Yorkshire puddings with oil already in the recipe—no additional greasing is necessary. For mince pies baked directly in the cups without cases, a light greasing or dusting of flour provides extra insurance for easy removal, though the superior coating typically releases them flawlessly without any preparation. The coating's quality means greasing is optional rather than essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I make Yorkshire puddings in this?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this bun tray is excellent for Yorkshire puddings. The heavy-duty carbon steel withstands the high temperatures (typically 220-240°C) required for proper Yorkshire pudding rise and crispy exteriors. Add oil or beef dripping to each cup, heat in the oven until smoking hot, then add batter and return immediately. The even heat distribution ensures consistent rise across all 12 puddings. The non-stick coating releases them easily without sticking. Many customers use this tin specifically for Yorkshire puddings with outstanding results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Even Heat Distribution Matters in Multi-Cup Bakeware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our 52 years helping customers select bakeware, we've observed that bun tray quality varies dramatically—variations that aren't immediately obvious when comparing tins in shops but become frustratingly apparent during actual baking. The primary performance difference lies in heat distribution consistency across the cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThinner carbon steel (0.4-0.6mm) warps during heating, creating uneven contact between cups and oven racks. Warped cups receive inconsistent heat—some overcook whilst others undercook in the same batch. The Tala Performance's heavy-duty 1.0mm steel with rolled edges maintains flat, even contact throughout baking. All 12 cups receive consistent heat, producing evenly browned, uniformly risen results. This matters particularly for finicky applications like Yorkshire puddings where temperature consistency determines success—some cups rising beautifully whilst others stay flat indicates heat distribution problems, not batter issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Whitford Eclipse coating contributes to even baking through its glossy finish, which distributes heat uniformly across cup surfaces. Budget non-stick coatings can create hot spots where thicker coating accumulates during application. The state-of-the-art spray application facilities Whitford uses ensure continuous, stable coating thickness—every cup in every tin receives identical coverage. This consistency, combined with the warp-resistant steel, explains why technical consultants and food technologists trust the Performance range—consistent results aren't luck; they're engineered through quality construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tala\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Performance\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Founded 1899, 120+ years of British baking expertise\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 cups\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37.2 x 28.8 x 3.5cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6-7cm diameter (standard fairy cake\/muffin size)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5cm (adequate for properly risen bakes)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-duty 1.0mm thick carbon steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beautifully rolled edges for extra strength\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Will never warp, even after extreme use and high temperatures\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRust Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rolled edge design makes each piece rust resistant\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Stick Coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whitford Eclipse double-layered\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applied using state-of-the-art spray facilities for continuous, stable coverage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e PFOA and BPA free\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sleek, glossy appearance for even heating\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fairy cakes, cupcakes, mince pies, Yorkshire puddings, savoury tarts, mini quiches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard cupcake\/muffin cases fit perfectly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFridge Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Utensil Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (with care)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbossing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tin size marked on bakeware\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLogo Branded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional Testing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tried, tested, and trusted by technical consultants and food technologists\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Part of 60+ piece Performance range\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Philosophy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space-saving storage in mind\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-year quality guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"care\" class=\"care-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all packaging and labels.

Fill cases or cups approximately two-thirds full with batter—this allows proper rise without overflow. Bake according to recipe specifications, typically 15-20 minutes at 180-200°C. The even heat distribution ensures all 12 cakes bake uniformly. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before lifting out—cases lift easily; cakes baked directly in cups release cleanly with gentle levering using a small spatula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor mince pies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly grease cups or dust with flour if baking without cases (though optional with the superior coating). Press pastry into each cup, add filling, top with pastry lids. Bake according to recipe specifications, typically 20 minutes at 200°C.

Place the empty tray in a hot oven (220-240°C) until the oil is smoking hot—this typically takes 5-10 minutes. Carefully remove the tray and quickly pour batter into each cup (about two-thirds full). Return immediately to the hot oven. Don't open the oven door during the first 20 minutes. The heavy-duty carbon steel maintains the intense heat required for dramatic rise. The puddings should release easily once cooked—run a knife around edges if needed, though the non-stick coating typically releases them cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor savoury applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e This tray works excellently for mini quiches, savoury tarts, egg bites, or portioned frittatas.

Whilst dishwasher safe, hand washing extends the coating's life and maintains its gloss appearance. Wash in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge. The gloss finish makes cleaning straightforward—residue releases easily from the cups. For stubborn residue, soak in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes before washing. Avoid abrasive scourers or steel wool which can damage the coating.

Lightly grease the cups despite the non-stick coating, as egg proteins can stick more than cake batters. Fill cups with your egg mixture plus desired additions (vegetables, cheese, meat).

For best results, lightly grease the cups even though it's non-stick, particularly in the points of the stars where batter can catch.

The silicone grip inserts are a practical safety feature absent from most bakeware.

Modern PFAS-free formulations like Le Creuset uses here perform well whilst addressing environmental and health concerns that weren't widely understood when we opened in 1972. The key to longevity remains the same: hand-washing with non-abrasive materials and avoiding metal utensils that scratch the coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavy-gauge construction matters more than many bakers realise. Thinner trays conduct heat less evenly, often creating hot spots that over-brown portions of your bakes whilst leaving others pale. This is particularly noticeable in shaped tins like this star tray, where the points of the stars can easily over-brown if the metal is too thin. Le Creuset's carbon steel gauge provides the heat mass needed for consistent results across all 12 cups, which is why professional bakers typically invest in heavier bakeware despite the higher initial cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H3.06cm × W30cm × D40cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cups:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five-pointed star\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-gauge carbon steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-stick, PFAS-free\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat-resistant silicone inserts on rim\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 240°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob\/Grill Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not suitable\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No - hand wash only\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tools:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46066000010000\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime (manufacturing defects)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"guarantees\" class=\"trust-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #2c5530; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From Art of Living?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Reigate in 1972, we've spent over five decades helping customers select quality cookware and bakeware.

Avoid abrasive scourers or metal utensils that could scratch the non-stick surface. If batter has stuck in the star points, soak for 10-15 minutes before washing. Dry thoroughly before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use paper cupcake cases in this tray?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you can use paper cases, but they'll mask the star shape. The cases will conform somewhat to the star cups but won't give you the defined star appearance. If you want the star shape visible, bake directly in the greased non-stick cups without cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes Le Creuset's lifetime guarantee cover non-stick coating wear?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset's lifetime guarantee covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear of non-stick coatings over time from regular use isn't typically covered, but premature failure or defects in the coating would be. Proper care extends the coating's effectiveness significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use metal utensils on this tray?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset recommends their silicone tools or wooden\/heat-resistant plastic tools to protect the non-stick coating. Avoid metal utensils and sharp implements that could scratch or damage the coating, as this will reduce its non-stick effectiveness over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy is hand-washing required instead of using the dishwasher?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDishwasher detergents contain harsh chemicals and the high heat can gradually degrade non-stick coatings, reducing their effectiveness over time. Hand-washing with gentle soap and warm water preserves the coating's properties and extends the tray's useful life considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Le Creuset","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39711294750778,"sku":"271053","price":29.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/files\/Le_Creuset_12_Cup_Star_Tray_3.jpg?v=1765374646"},{"product_id":"mermaid-silver-anodised-12-eclaire-tin","title":"Samuel Groves Mermaid Silver Anodised Eclair Tin 12 Hole","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Samuel Groves Mermaid Silver Anodised Eclair Tin 12 hole is a go-to choice for professional chefs and home bakers looking to achieve consistent, high-quality results every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIts lightweight and robust design can withstand the stresses of all-day baking and is easy to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade with aluminium, a superior heat conductor, this tin guarantees reduced baking time and even results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnodising gives the range a smooth satin finish, creating a non-stick surface that won't peel, leach, or rust, and will only improve with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs an added bonus, this bakeware is free of PTFE and PFOAs, making it a 100% safe choice for your baking needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePackaged in sustainable materials, the Samuel Groves Mermaid Silver Anodised Eclair Tin 12 hole is a reliable, lifetime investment for all your baking needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samuel Groves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39806705664058,"sku":"271189","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/products\/mermaid-silver-anodised-12-e-M8838-3.jpg?v=1707138749"},{"product_id":"mermaid-silver-anodised-6-hole-bun-tin","title":"Samuel Groves Mermaid Silver Anodised Bun Tin 6 Hole","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Samuel Groves Mermaid Silver Anodised 6 Hole Bun Tin is a go-to choice for professional chefs and home bakers looking to achieve consistent, high-quality results every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIts lightweight and robust design can withstand the stresses of all-day baking and is easy to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade with aluminium, a superior heat conductor, this tin guarantees reduced baking time and even results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnodising gives the range a smooth satin finish, creating a non-stick surface that won't peel, leach, or rust, and will only improve with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs an added bonus, this bakeware is free of PTFE and PFOAs, making it a 100% safe choice for your baking needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePackaged in sustainable materials, the Samuel Groves Mermaid Silver Anodised 6 Hole Bun Tin is a reliable, lifetime investment for all your baking needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samuel Groves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39806705729594,"sku":"271187","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/products\/mermaid-silver-anodised-6-ho--3.jpg?v=1707135844"}],"url":"https:\/\/aolcookshop.co.uk\/collections\/muffins-buns.oembed","provider":"Art of Living Cookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
