Sorry I should have made it clearer.  It is a silicone sheet, which is very handy as it rolls up and goes neatly into a drawer 

You do get a good crispy crust all round the baguette

I use one from sainsburys, link below and it works very well, was only £5 a few weeks back I noticed, so bought another.
It creates a perfect shape for the baguettes.

Oh right thanks, is it silicone then & not a tin,cos I went there( just down the road for me at Wyevale), I asked & they showed me a silicone one but I thought I was looking for a tin so came away empty handed.

Mine are tins and I got them from Amazon

These are the ones I use. I line them with baking parchment which I leave until it disintegrates. The metal gives really good crusty baguettes.

Yesterdays efforts   

Cheese and tomato quiche for OH as I was out late at work - one to cut into for his tea and one for the freezer.  Milk buns with sultanas for his packed lunches for work and a (non baked but sneaking into the background) raspberry jelly with raspberries out of the freezer.  The jelly was a bonus for when he opened the fridge to see what was for tea.  He missed it completely    Not to be beaten, he had a bowlful for breakfast

I really don't like silicone for baking (though I have plenty of moulds!)

You have to take the cakes out really quickly otherwise they go soggy, and pastry remains awfully flaccid, and doesn't even bake blind correctly.

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that I prefer traditional tins (with the mod cons of non-stick coating) for baking.

Theres some yummy goodness in that pic those quiches  i can smell from here you spoil your OH .

He works hard and I work part-time in the business as well now, so he pays some of my wages. 

I find it pays dividends to spoil him a bit Chrissie

I like the sound sof the milk buns in particular New Shoot ... mmmmmmm.

When I find time away from the plot I can get back to baking again!

[chrissie B]
