The reason we've been using it for 30 years.

Lakeland - 13"x39" - £8.50 - Ref 5571

With a dishwasher, no problem. But if you have soft water (we have a softener) it may feel a bit slimey. I find that a rinse in hard water, if you have it, helps.

Must be the only good thing about hard water!

We now have a frying pan that's usable again thanks to this liner. Heat conduction is best if some oil is put between the liner and the pan though. I find that after a while black marks appear on the liner, but it doesn't seem to affect the properties.

The Lakeland roll did one frying pan and one oven tray. We also have the oven liner waiting for the day I've got the oven clean and someone doesn't appear and use it before I get chance to line it!!  ::)

For all of you with uncleanable 'ruined' pans, cheap bio washing powder really does work! Shove a couple of scoops in the pan, add boiling water, stick a lid on and leave overnight. Give a good scrub, and re-soak if it is *that* bad. But the effort involved is minimal compared with the old method of brillo pad and elbow grease!!!

Bio - yes!

Only problem with oiling is that you may get a stubborn film on the pan.

For the same sort of reason, cut your cloth to overlap the pan, or the goo runs under & burns on.

Black, Moonbells - like this??

[moonbells]

yes, black like that Tim! I suspected heat damage.

Back to the tomatoes....

well, mine baked slowly for 3 hours + a whole head of elephant garlic that was given an extra 2hrs (rosemary over the garlic, thyme over the toms) were a treat with hot pitta and particularly, deliciously, more-ish.....
