I've inadvertendly started collecting vintage bake ware this year.
After reading about the nasties of non-stick/Teflon, I decided to oust my small collection of cake & muffin tins and start again. But of course you can't just go to any old shop and buy old-style metal bake ware anymore... it's ALL non-stick/rubber/other random materials I'm not sure should be heated to high temps around food.
So I've been on the lookout for second hand cake and baking tins, and here's my collection thus far:
There's a lady at the Camberwell Market who sells vintage cookery stuff and that's where I picked up this round spring form pan (hosting a newly-baked Rhubarb Yoghurt Cake, which will be consumed in a matter of hours from now). I always forget that stuff at the Cambo market isn't that cheap, and this one cost about $15 I think.
But I made up for it with these three:
A cake holder (albeit plastic, but it was $1.50 AND it's yellow!); long-sought-after-and-then-found-at-my-local-op-shop mini-muffin/cupcake tray ($3); and a square cake tin ($1).
Next on my to-find list is one of those donut-shaped round cake tins, and a banana bread/lasagne tin.
And I just had to include this pic of my glass lemon juicer. It's such a classic. On deciding I needed one, I walked into the nearest Salvation Army Store and immediately spied it on the glassware shelf, for only a few dollars. Why would you buy anything new these days without checking out your local op shop first?
