Tarts are great to make when you are entertaining. Because of the stylist, elegant crimped edges, what you make always comes out beautiful. Sometimes you may want small tarts that you can serve individually and conveniently. USA Pan makes a pan to do this.
USA Pan makes a great Mini Fluted Tart Pan. Each tart cavity is about 4 1/2 inches at the top and about 4 inches at the bottom. They tart cavities are a little larger than your average mini tart pan. Most mini tarts are about 2-3 inches in diameter. The extra inch gives you more cooking and baking options, plus ensures that each tart gives the perfect individual portion. It’s not just 2 to 3 bites and you’re done.
The whole pan is approximately 16×11 inches, which is a great size. It’s good that the tarts are all connected. It makes it so much easier to take the tarts in and out of the oven. It also gives you some overlay if your crust comes out of the tart cavity a little.
The pan is also a good weight. It’s not light and flemsy at all. It’s made of steel and is very sturdy. This makes it a lot easier to get it in and out of the oven.
I love that it is non-stick. And It is extremely non-stick! I sprayed the tart cavities with a little cooking spray, but I really didn’t have to. I used a puff pastry crust and they literally slide right out! I’ve never used a non-stick pan that was this non-stick before.
Because the pans are individual, you can make different types of tarts at the same time. Not just one, like the larger tart pans.
You can custom each tart depending on what type each person wants. It really comes in handy if you have picky eaters. Some want certain ingredients and not others. You can leave out what they don’t like and add what they do. It makes life so much easier!
Overall, The Mini Fluted Tart Pan is a great item. If you like making specialty foods with a beautiful presentation, then this pan is a must! It’s great for savory or sweet tarts with all different types of fillings. With this pan, the possibilities are endless!
