Norpro Tartlet Tins, Set of 36

Very happy with this set of 36 tartlet molds from Norpro I bought through the Amazon warehouse at a very low price. 36 seems a lot, but it is the perfect set for salty amuse-bouches made with puff dough filled with ham, mini sausages, tapenade or other ingredients. 6 shapes and 6 molds for each shape. If you do not want all the set you can always give half to your mother/daughter/friends. At a regular price the set is still cheap. It is because it is made of tin, a very easy material to work with. I do not see it that sturdy, but enough for its use. Be careful the edges can be a little bit sharp. You can use them also upside down to have fun shapes when making biscuits. their dimension for each of them can vary from 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches. The molds are rectangular, round (small/big), ovoidal and triangular. Of course they can be useful for tartlets (my favorite are puff pastry + grapes or apples covered with quince jelly) and you will find a lot of recipes on internet. It is a great and chickier way to present food, it is more appealing than having a huge amount of unappetizing food on the table. Not only it helps people to eat smaller portions, but they will love the attention/presentation.

These seem good quality, well machined, and heavy enough weight to hold up for cooking or crafting.

I ordered these to make one of my mom’s favorite cookies. The tins are great. They were easy to wash and then season to prep. I used some shortening and baked them then wiped off the excess grease. Once that is done they are ready for using and the cookies slide right out after baking. The tins are also pretty sturdy yet flexible enough to help pop out any edges that didn’t immediately release. I do recommend trying to use similar sizes when baking. Some of these are a bit larger or smaller so I tried keeping the sizes together so cookies weren’t over or under baked. Great tins.

Product arrived as anticipated in satisfactory packaging - no defective items noted. Thickness / weight varies somewhat - item to item as likely the stock from which they are fabricated varies minimally (i.e. not all of the items in one package are from the same sheet of tin). The weight / thickness difference did not significantly impact baking times. I recommend hand wash / wipe dry - I use a toothbrush to "scrub" them and a light towel to dry them - as with all tin bakeware be careful of the edges - they are SHARP. (Read - if you do not pay attention to what you are doing - you can cut yourself on them). Overall I am very satisfied with these tartlet pans - the variety of shapes and sizes was sufficient for my needs. I did order two sets so that I could have an eveny dozen of each shape when baking. My use: Christmas cookies: excellent for jam tartlets and gingerbread. For ease of use I simply placed dough in ungreased tin; placed tins on a rimmed baking sheet and popped the sheets into the oven. Normal rotation: front to back / top to bottom - and viola: no burned cookies, all realeased well from the forms (inversion for most and gentle tapping for the few that required convincing) and best of all no extra flour on the gingerbread due to rolling or stiffening of the last bit of dough due to successive additions of flour. Summary: Product as described; satisfactory quality.

I use these to make Norwegian tarts and there is a recipe on the box. They are a nice quality and weight. The size is perfect for filling with whip cream and fruit (lingonberries) or strawberries etc. I wash and make sure to dry well (heat in oven) before storing.

Used these to create dessert dishes from my childhood.. Swedish tarts .. .

Pros: Tins work as advertised Cons: Quality Control Bottom Line: These tins work fine for the sandbakkels I made, but having to throw away all of one design of the tin due to factory defects made me rate them a 3. Yes, I could have returned them, but I needed them that week and didn't have time to do so (not to mention they are inexpensive). The defect was corrosion on the tins from the factory that couldn't be cleaned off, almost like something corrosive dripped on the tins. I have used the tins 5 or 6 times each now with no issue. The tin is non-stick when hot and sandbakkels are about half butter anyway, so they don't stick at all. The good tins are good and should last a long time.

I really liked these tartlet tins. They are extremely sturdy and perfect for making tarts. Reminds me of the ones we had growing up. The only negative feature is its sharp edges. To clean, I used a very damp cloth with a small bit of soap and dried them right away. That will prevent the rusting some people were experiencing.
