tart casing/tins

Postby homer » Fri Jun 22, 2012 8:08 pm

got my knives all sussed now and happy with the ones i bought, picked up some super sexy circulon infinite skillets and chef pan at a bargin price so moving on to baking bits now
i know its prob not that hard but ive always fancied doing one of those lush looking strawberry tarts with the butter pastry base, custard then strawberries on top :oops:
so does anyone have any knowledge of the little fluted tartlett tins that are about 3 1/2"" or so?
dont know weather to get loose bottomed ones or a fixed type?
ive read about buying double the amount and using one to line the other one to make blind baking easy

any ideas?
Other half moaned on about me finding new hobbies ..found this site..now she's sorry!!

I have not used the fixed type, but the loose bottom versions seem to be my go to for tarts. It just makes everything easier, at least without trying the fixed, that is my thought.

In the UK my choice would be tins from Silverwoods:
