If you grease the tin and give a light scattering of breadcrumbs or polenta it will do the same without the liners.

Re: How to save yourself a ton of money

At our age I can't see the point of saving money, what are you going to do with it when you are dead?

Personally I just spend or give it away when I accumulate too much in my bank account - the pandemic has exacerbated this unintended saving.

Don't get the wrong idea I am not rich but it is just I don't need anything other than the basics like fuel, clothing and food (think Maslow's hierarchy of needs). I have sufficient in my bank to cover minor emergencies like a fridge packing it in so saving money on food is not on the agenda and I can't understand why anybody retired would bother.

If I have pizza left over I will tear it up and throw it on the roof of the car port for the biirds.

Not having a go, just saying.

Thanks for the tip, but I can’t be bothered with all that faffing about, I’m going to use my silicone ones, they are brilliant, problem is, I can’t find them,

Excuse me Bruce...who said I have an over flowing bank balance,......that’s why I’m cooking from scratch to save my pension money, going down the drain...
I have now fully retired.
I don’t take what you say personally ,that is your opinion,...I cook from scratch, not only is it healthier , it saves you money, plus buying ready meals, is being lazy, unless one is unable to cook due to illness ,etc.....
Or, simply put.......they can’t cook...

Why should I give up my passion....you must be joking...

It's just a good way to stop the sides sticking if you don't have any liner. works well.

I’ve looked it up...as far as I have read ,it doesn’t stop the cake from sticking, plus breadcrumbs showing on side of cake..you can’t beat loaf tin liners...just got some from my mate, she had spare....

No one is asking you to give up your passion. The title of the thread is "How to save yourself a ton of Money" not "I Cook because I enjoy it". I merely commented on the theme of the thread, is that not allowed?
