Hello Father Scott,
I’m really sorry and very surprised to hear that.
We all think the tins a brilliant. All of us use them regularly.
The pastry chef at the football club uses them to make hundreds of cakes too.
Perhaps your oven is running too high or could it be that you are using a fan oven?
If you are you need to reduce the oven temperature by 20 degrees.
Kind regards
Lindsey
hi lindsay no i only use gas and gas mark 4 but since i bought the tins its all gone pete tong

That’s a shame. These Silverwood, British made tins are the best I’ve ever had. These tins are used by so many and you the first who has reported an issue. Perhaps the gas oven is too fierce!
thanks lindsay for your help. please give my regards to delia, ive been a fan since the early 80's and met her at a london day of renewal with charles whitehead. i miss her so much on telly, but ive got all her progs on video which i watch regularly, i suppose that makes me a nerd lol. i have bought other items , the frying pan, roasting tin and swiss roll tin and saucepan and liners, they are all fine
