Yorkshire Pudding diary

Fray Bentos ❤ Did they once have keys that you had to turn to unroll the tin lid off the tin? I think sardine tins had them too before ring pull cans. I dont trust ceramic at very high temperatures. What about cast iron for a steady heat?

That's the corned beef It still comes with a key. The tinned pies you actually need a tin opener to cut the top off

So I gave in and ordered 3 fray bentos tinned pies Just for the tins. Although we will probably eat them as well but not all at once! I actually quite like them - we had them during the pandemic when we couldn't get any food. Probably not particularly nutritious though!

I'm not sure how long the tins will last as they could go rusty - so they will need drying well after use/washing. I hope the Yorkshire puddings don't stick in them ha ha. I might still use the enamel ones again and accept they'll stick in the middle but it's really annoying when they were nearly perfect!

The advantage of the enamel ones and fray bentos tins is - no need to worry about high oven temperatures for the fat - unlike the restrictions with some non stick ones.

I think they will have to change to a ring pull can, no one carries tin openers these days I haven't had a FB pie for a very long time. Now I'm pretty much vegan

... I probably won't ever have one again. I think I enjoyed it I hope the pie tins work and stay rust free.

Watching with interest

They do vegetarian ones too ha ha. One of the ones I bought is a vegetable balti - not sure if that's vegan though.

It'll be a while - until the pies are eaten possibly. If I make any Yorkshires in the meantime I'll use the other tins.
