A good cake tin can make your baking creations shine. We've tested round 20cm cake tins (or cake pans) from major brands including Wiltshire, Bakemaster, Mondo, Chef Inox, Jamie Oliver, Nordic Ware, Kmart and more to find out which ones rise to the top.

Our kitchen lab experts conduct a number of cooking performance tests to assess how well the cake tins can:

  • release a delicate food
  • release a sticky food
  • brown evenly
  • produce a firm, fairly dry crumb on the base.

    • They also assess how easy the cake tins are to place in and out of the oven, and how easy they are to clean.
