Cupcake & Muffin Trays

Muffin tins are baking trays, made typically of metal or silicone, that have multiple cups for baking small treats such as cupcakes, muffins and mini pies. Each cup is usually circular with a slight incline that allows the cupcake to evenly rise when heated. With muffin tins, one can easily bake several treats of different flavours in one go. The result is a batch of individual treats that are perfect for sharing or enjoying on their own as a snack. At Cookinglife, discover a wide range of cupcake tins and cupcake trays to suit your taste!

Muffin tray

Muffins are extremely popular for a good reason because you can go any which way with muffins. With a muffin tin from Cookinglife you can make many muffins and cupcakes in various flavours! A muffin tray is a baking tin made especially for muffins and other small cakes, with excellent regulated heat distribution. The trays often have room for 6, 12 or even 24 muffins. The muffin trays are easy to use as most have a non-stick coating. At Cookinglife, we offer the 12-cup muffin tin in various sizes and materials. Are you looking for aluminium, plastic, porcelain, or silicone? You have plenty of options to choose from. A cupcake tin can often be non-stick, making it easy to remove your muffins after they are done baking.

Silicone muffin tray

A silicone cupcake tin is a fun way to make cupcakes or cookies at home. Do you wish that you could bake more? A silicone muffin tray is a great way to add baking to your routine. So what are the advantages of this material? Because of silicone's flexible properties, you easily push the muffin out of the cupcake trays. Due to the non-stick properties of silicone, the muffin stays whole. These dishwasher-safe trays are easy to use and clean. The silicone material makes them oven- and freezer-safe, and the non-stick coating prevents the cupcakes or muffins from getting stuck.

Using a mini muffin tin

Before you get started baking muffins, it's handy to know how to use a mini muffin tin. Most of the muffin moulds we sell have an anti-stick coating, but for prolonged use it is still useful to use some oil/grease. Another solution would be to use cake pans to ensure your muffins don't burn. Furthermore, don't forget to always put on oven gloves when using a mini muffin tin so you don't hurt yourself! Have you decided to start baking muffins and are you looking for a 12-cup muffin tray? A muffin tin for 12 muffins can make the most delicious muffins and also other delicious snacks from the oven, such as a puff pastry snack. Just grease, bake and eat!

How best to use a muffin tin?

Make the most of your muffin tin with these steps before first use:

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Then it is important to rinse the muffin tin well. This can be done with a little lukewarm water.
Now it's time to grease the muffin tin! This creates a protective layer that also acts as a non-stick layer. You can do this by greasing the muffin tin with pure linseed oil or a little sunflower oil.
Put the muffin tin in the oven for at least 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, you can remove the mould from the oven. Is there any leftover oil or grease in the mould? You can easily remove this with a bit of kitchen paper. After this, your muffin tin is ready for use!

Cleaning cupcake trays

To enjoy your muffin tin for a long time, it is important to keep it clean. You can do this in the following way:

Rinse the muffin tin with lukewarm water.
After this, put the mould back in the oven so it can dry properly.
Do stubborn baking stains remain? Then dissolve a drop of washing-up liquid in lukewarm water and clean the muffin tin in this. Note! Should you do this, it is important to re-bake the muffin tin.
