Springform pan
The baking pan is used for baking cakes, pies, bread, biscuits and pies. Originally made of stoneware, is a baking pan today usually made of enameled or tinned sheet iron, often with a nonstick coating. There are also clear bakeware from heat resistant borosilicate glass. Relatively new on the market are made of silicone bakeware. They are in contrast to metal baking tins flexible and can thereby better solve the pastry.
The main purpose of bakeware is to prevent by high liquid or fat soft doughs and batters such as scrambled, sponge cake or fat fillings on flowing apart to solidify the material, usually by the protein contained in it coagulates in the furnace heat. Bread, biscuits and many Hefefeingebäcke unbaked are often sufficiently rigid to " freely pushed" to be baked on the sheet, but it also bakes bread, mares, studs, etc. widely used in baking pans. This allows the form and content after baking separated from one another, there is nonstick bakeware, non- coated must be pre- greased or lined with parchment paper. The fat layer can also be dusted with flour or breadcrumbs.
Not to be counted among the baking pans and cookie cutters Model for gingerbread, cookies, etc.
Formation
Some bakeware probably preceded the use of bowls, cups and kettles.
Variants
Cup and ring forms
For cakes as gugelhupf and flatter wreath cake, even pudding. The added later hole in the center serves a faster and more uniform heat distribution.
Box shapes
Are rectangular and about as wide as high. Typical use are sponge cakes, pies, meatloaf and assorted breads, for example, a fat-containing dough like box have white bread.
Spring forms
Are usually round, but sometimes also square or other shaped (eg heart-shaped ), mostly shallow baking molds consisted of two parts: A tinny, adjustable ring forms the side wall into which a replaceable bottom is clamped. With flat bottom it is mainly used for baking cakes and cakes with a base with a central fireplace (so-called " tube sheet " ) it replaces a wreath form for sponge cakes. Unlike other bakeware the finished cake does not have to be overthrown, but the form will jump by opening the cocking lever on the outer ring and wall and ground separate from each other. Such bakeware also be made with leakage protection. Thus, the lower support plate is slightly larger and is used by its design as a gutter.
Motif bakeware
Are bakeware which make the cake bake as figures, motifs, symbols or other images in three-dimensional form. Examples are subject bakeware that have, for example, the shape of cars, ships, etc. or current figures from film and television such as Mickey Mouse, Spongebob, Spiderman, etc. form. In Europe, some motive bakeware are continuous in trade ( preferably timeless festive motifs, such as rabbits, Christmas or Snowmen ). Motives of the popular TV series are manufactured by authorized license (mostly American ) form manufacturers and offered mainly in the United States. Special forms can also be borrowed in lending in Germany ( baking tin hire). The molds are usually made of oberflächengeglättetem aluminum, stainless steel or solid cast aluminum with nonstick coating. The size is 30 cm x 25 cm x 6 cm. The dough volume is between 1.5 to 2.5 liters
Back form associations
(for normal kiln sizes ) are baking sheets, in the same back several motifs are pressed. Typical examples are Eclairformen ( ladyfingers form) and Bear Paw or Madeleine baking sheets. But other motives ( bear, hearts, and the like) can be pressed as muffins in baking dish associations. On the German market increasingly come back form associations in North America with various motifs ( muffins ), such as butterflies, dinosaurs, bugs, insects, zoo animals, and the like on. These imported baking dish associations are usually as the motive baking pans made of cast aluminum with non-stick coating ( non-stick ). The size is 10 cm x 8 cm x 5 cm. Due to the large Lifelike in the form of these muffins are good for decoration during festivals.
Baking cups made of glazed stoneware
Are still produced in some pottery craft. The cake is baked in the shell. Subsequently, however, he does not have to be overthrown from the mold. It is served cut into and lifted piece by piece from the mold.
Other
There are also a variety of bakeware for small baked goods like muffins, yorkshire pudding or small patties ( a sheet with several cup-shaped depressions ) or decorative special forms for example Christmas and Easter pastries.
