The inside of the bread tin measures 270 (L) x 110 (W) x 110 (H) and can hold 2.8 litres.
Before first use, handwash in mild soapy water with a soft cleaning cloth, then dry with a tea towel, grease the inside of the tin and lid and place in a warm oven for 10 minutes to dry thoroughly. Now it’s ready for your first loaf!
Between bakes, a quick wipe with a dry kitchen towel while the tin and lid are still warm should be enough to clean your tin. But if it needs washing, or you’re lining your tin for baking Madeira cake or banana bread, repeat the steps above, remembering to grease and dry in the oven again ready for next use.
Whilst the bread tin can be cleaned in a dishwasher, we recommend handwashing where possible to preserve the non-stick surface for an extended lifespan. Please refrain from soaking it in water or using metal utensils, knives, abrasive cloths, cleaners, or highly alkaline detergents to ensure optimal performance.
Before storing away, ensure your tin and lid are both thoroughly dried and choose an area in your kitchen or pantry that’s free from moisture. We recommend storing with the lid on and avoiding stacking tins inside – that might save space, but it’s likely to scratch and compromise the non-stick surface.
Add your dough to the tin just before you transfer it to the oven and release your loaf immediately to cool on a rack. It’s the golden rule for taking good care of any good bread tin, as leaving bread to prove or cool will expose it to too much moisture and can cause rust to develop.
Some surface discolouration may occur with use over time, but this doesn’t affect the integrity of the non-stick surface.
