Paper and cases

Easybake baking papers for the kitchen oven, not the kids' oven

Five paper products carrying the Easybake name — pre-cut siliconised circles in three tin sizes and two boxes of a hundred glassine bun cases, all of it baking paper for a full-size oven rather than for a kid's oven and its refill mixes.

the back of the ultimate oven carton

This shelf is paper. Siliconised greaseproof circles are cut to the size of a round tin and need no greasing: the cake lifts off and the paper peels away. Glassine bun cases are the smooth, faintly translucent cups that stay pale instead of going dark and greasy while a cake bakes in them.

We keep them on this counter because the brand name printed on the packs is Easybake, and because the families who buy a small oven almost always have a full-size tin in a cupboard as well. These are kitchen-oven papers rather than liners for the small chamber — worth saying plainly before anyone orders a ten-inch circle for a toy pan.

How this shelf is set

Three circle sizes and two case colors, sorted cheapest first because the only real decision here is which tin you own. Six, nine and ten inches cover most round tins sold in the United States; the bun cases are the standard cupcake diameter.

Ratings on this shelf come from very few people — two or three each — so read them as a hint rather than a verdict. The papers themselves are simple products and the reviews that exist are consistently positive.

Why baking paper sits on a counter about ovens

These listings carry the same brand name on the label, and they are paper goods for a full-size tin rather than anything for the small chamber. We keep them on their own shelf, clearly separated, because a family searching for refill mixes should never land on a case of parchment sheets by accident. If paper is what you came for, this is the honest version of the shelf.

What the sheets, cups and liners actually do

Parchment keeps a cake from gripping the tin and makes the lift-out a single motion instead of a rescue operation. Cupcake cases hold their shape through a hot bake and let a kid peel the paper off a warm top without a spatula. Nothing here is a mix, a toy or a set of ingredients — it is the layer between food and metal, and it saves the washing up.

Sizes, tins and the full-size oven

The sizes on these cards are made for kitchen tins: round sheets for a cake tin, squares for a tray, standard cases for a muffin pan. Read the measurement on the card against the tin in your cupboard before ordering, because a sheet an inch too wide creases up the side and a sheet too small is useless. None of these sizes fit the small baking pan that comes with the oven.

Using paper with an Easy Bake oven pan for kids

People ask, so: we would not line the small pan with parchment. The chamber is a tight fit, the pan slides through on rails, and loose paper near a heating element is not a risk worth taking for a tray of cookies. Grease the pan lightly instead, let it cool and wipe it with a cloth — that is what the instructions have always said, and it works.

Cleaning up, grease and a damp cloth

Paper does most of the cleaning for a full-size bake. For the little oven the job is simpler than it looks: let everything cool, lift the crumbs out, wipe the pan with a damp cloth and leave the chamber open for a few minutes. Frosting is the sticky part, so deal with that while it is still soft rather than the next morning.

Paper, pans and the two ovens in one kitchen

Most houses that own a kid's oven also own a full-size one, and this shelf serves the second. A siliconised circle in a round tin means a cake lifts out whole; a glassine case means a bun looks pale and cute rather than greasy. There is no recipe here that a kid cannot help with, which is why we keep the paper on the same counter as the mixes: the toy teaches measuring and the family oven is where that skill goes next.

The overlap with an Easy-Bake Oven is small but real. A circle can be cut down to the footprint of the mini pan, which keeps chocolate frosting off the metal and makes the clean-up a single wipe with a cloth. It will not help a cake rise and it is not an ingredient; it is a convenience. We would rather say that than let anyone order a ten-inch circle expecting it to fit a toy pan, because we have found that mistake made more than once.

  • Match the circle to the tin you own, not to the cake you want. Six, nine and ten inches cover most.
  • Siliconised paper needs no grease and no flour. Lay it flat and prepare the batter.
  • Glassine cases stay their color through the bake. Ordinary cases go dark and the results look tired.
  • Cut a circle down for the small pan if you like; the amount of paper in one box lasts years.
  • Bakers of any age can line a tin. It is the one job a younger kid can own completely.
  • Paper does nothing for flavor. Vanilla, peanut or brownie, the mix is what decides that.
  • A box of a hundred cases sounds like too many until a kid starts making buns every weekend.
  • Cases arrive packaged a hundred to a box, which is enough for a year of a kid and a good addition to any cupboard.
  • Our daughter loves a bun topped with rainbow sprinkles, a yummy swirl and a tray stacked high.
  • Oven recipes that call for eggs, butter and a jug of water belong in the full-size tin; follow the pack for the small one.
  • The design of a glassine case is simple and amazing in the way that only an old idea can be.
  • Try lining one tin and leaving the next bare. The difference is immediate and we believe it settles the argument.
  • Creating a tasty cake is the fun part; paper only decides whether it survives the turn-out, and that added confidence is worth a lot in family life.
  • People are thrilled by small things in a kitchen, and the cooking we enjoy most starts with the dull preparations.

Questions about this shelf

Do greaseproof circles need greasing first?

No. Siliconised paper is treated on both sides, which is the whole point of buying a cut circle instead of trimming a sheet of parchment. Lay it flat in the tin and pour the batter straight on.

Will these fit an Easy Bake oven pan?

Not as supplied. The smallest circle here is six inches and the Ultimate Oven pan is far smaller. If you want a liner for the small pan, cut one down from a circle rather than buying a full sheet.

What is glassine and why use it for bun cases?

Glassine is a dense, smooth paper that resists grease. A glassine case keeps its color through the bake, so a pale pink cup is still pale pink when the cake comes out — ordinary paper cases go translucent and dark.

How many cases are in a box?

A hundred in each box, in one pastel pink or in an assortment of berry shades. The mix in the assorted box is not guaranteed to be even across the colors.
