If you bake your own plant-based cakes and cookies, you’ll likely want to invest in a few baking tools like baking trays and oven gloves. But it’s good to avoid ones with Teflon or cheap aluminium coatings.

Safe baking for everyone

• Keep ingredients like nuts away from young children, and keep all sweet treats away from furry friends, due to unsafe ingredients like fresh dough, nuts, chocolate, nutmeg, citrus fruits. Read more on food safety for people and pets (heating any cookware is unsafe near birds).
• If using these baking pans for vegan roast potatoes, don’t give leftovers to pets, garden birds or wildfowl due to salt (toxic) – fat can also smear on feathers, affecting waterproofing and insulation.
• Due to acids, avoid composting citrus fruits, tomatoes, rhubarb and alliums (onion, garlic, leeks, shallots and chives), as they could harm garden creatures (put in food waste bins, or just bin to break down naturally). Same for coffee grounds and tea leaves.
• If using tinned ingredients, fully remove lids before recycling (or pop ring-pulls back over holes, to prevent curious wildlife getting trapped inside).

You only need a few baking tools

Even when you find good quality items, you don’t have to buy everything but the kitchen sink! Carefully choose the items you need, and leave the rest on the shelf.

Once bought, wash items by hand, and cool before rinsing (to avoid thermal cracks). Use with non-scratch utensils and remove stains by soaking items in a mix of 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda and 1 cup white cleaning vinegar for 30 minutes.
