Sometimes minor cosmetic imperfections occur during production or shipping – far too good to throw away!
Here you’ll find selected Cynthia Barcomi Kitchenware seconds at a reduced price.
All items are fully functional. They may have light scratches or minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect their performance in any way.
Exception:
Fluted Tart Pan: This pan is missing the second, flat removable insert. However, it can still be used perfectly to bake fruit tarts and other recipes.
Available items:
- 25 cm Sponge Cake Pan
- 23 cm Sponge Cake Pan
- 28 cm Sponge Cake Pan
- Sponge flan pan (without the second removable insert)
- Pastry Board
As these are one-off items or remaining stock, they are available only while supplies last.
Please note that the cosmetic imperfections described above, as well as the missing second insert for the Fluted Tart Pan, are already reflected in the reduced price and therefore do not qualify as grounds for a complaint. Your statutory right of withdrawal remains unaffected.
Do I have to grease the molds?
That depends on what you want to bake and in what form.
Ingredients such as cheese or sugar literally act like glue when they cool.
Therefore, when baking with sponge cake tins, loaf tins and all shapes where you work with such ingredients, we recommend greasing the tins.
For example, a pie and tart pan does not need to be greased because the dough is quite pure and already consists of enough fat.
Can the molds go in the dishwasher?
We recommend washing the molds by hand, as the aggressive detergent from the dishwasher can visually damage the mold.
Question back:
Would you put a good knife in the dishwasher?
Neither do we. It's similar with these good baking molds.
What do I do if the baking pan has gone into the dishwasher?
The discoloration and mysterious "fingerprints" that can appear are essentially areas that were partially protected from attack by deposits of protective grease.
There may also be a powdery residue left behind, which you should remove by hand with a non-scratching scouring pad.
There is no practical way to return the surface to its original condition.
However, since this is a purely aesthetic change to the surface that does not have a negative impact on baking or health, you can continue to use the mold as normal.
Is baking with aluminum healthy?
Yes – with our baking tins.
Our baking molds are “anodized” during production – i.e. placed in an electrolytic bath.
This process closes the pores and you can bake with the molds without any worries.
It is important to note that the molds are not coated. So nothing can ever flake off and get into the food.

Can I cut directly on the baking pans?
Yes.
However, a sharp knife can leave scratches in the mold, but these do not affect the function of the mold.
And as I said, there is no coating to chip or peel.
How do you feel about sustainability?
Our baking molds are made by hand - and in such a way that they last a lifetime.
All bakeware is intentionally uncoated, but undergoes a process called “anodization,” which hardens and seals the core aluminum.
This creates the distinctive color and a smooth, easily removable and easy to clean surface that is also much more durable and will never peel, bubble, warp or rust.
The special surface of our baking tins means that it will develop its own natural patina over time.
Using our bakeware is easy and fulfilling; the joy of a treasured possession that promises a lifetime of perfect baking – that is the ultimate statement for sustainable baking.
Where are the baking molds made?
Our baking molds are mostly made by a great artisan family business in England.
We say too often because there are a few baking pans that the manufacturer cannot produce on site due to a lack of suitable equipment. These include, for example, the popular muffin tins or the dome tart tins.
As a solution to having these important baking molds manufactured, our English manufacturer recommended another manufacturer whose quality is equivalent. He produces in China.
Since quality and creativity are our top priority, we welcomed the collaboration and are just as convinced of the value as the shapes that come from England.
Do you offer a guarantee on the baking pans?
Yes.
We stand behind our top quality and give a 25-year guarantee on all baking pans.

Quality is our top priority. Almost everyone Cynthia Barcomi Kitchenware baking molds are made by hand in England. A special partner with whom we have been working very happily since our founding in 2009.
Because the baking molds are produced in England with so much handwork (an absolute sign of quality), we are currently not receiving huge quantities from our manufacturer.
The reasons for this are delivery bottlenecks and the fact that they also have enormous difficulties in finding appropriately trained staff.
It's all the nicer when you get the shape you want or can give one as a gift. Because oneCynthia Barcomi Kitchenware Baking pan should be the last baking pan you will ever buy.
