Cooling Racks:
Once you have cooked your cakes or biscuits you will need
to place them somewhere to cool. It is usually a good
idea to allow cakes and biscuits to stand on the trays
or in the cake pan for a few minutes before you put them
on the rack to cool. Dont tip them out straight
away as they often break into pieces.

Muffin Pans:
Most muffin pans are non-stick and come in large, medium
and small sizes.

Oven Mitts:
Always use oven mitts for handling hot things like cake
tins to protect your hands. Never use tea-towels as they
can be damp and when wrapped around something hot can
create steam that can burn you.

Patty Cake Tins:
Patty cake tins are similar to muffin pans but are usually
a little shallower. Patty tins are used for making Patty
Cakes and are usually lined with little paper cups called
patty papers.

Spring Form Pans:
Spring form cake pans are usually round and have a little
spring attachment on the side like a lever that lifts
up, expanding the sides of the pan allowing the base to
be removed. This type of pan is usually used for baked
and refrigerated cheesecakes because they cant be
turned out of a pan, and for baking cakes.

 |
Cake Pans:
Cake pans come in all shapes and sizes. Some are non-stick
and some arent. It is always a good idea to at least
line the base of any type of cake pan with baking paper
to prevent cakes from sticking to the pan.
