3 Pint Pudding Basin and Lid Pack of 2 Plastic Pudding Basins 1.7lt (3pt) Large Size Food Safe Steaming Bowls Clear

I was surprised at the prices for bowls like this and chose these as they seemed a good price. I really only needed one though. I cooked my home-made Christmas pudding in one and it was excellent - and can certainly be re-used many times.

Unfortunately the bottom of the bowl cracked and melted on first use in steamer. Not cheap and not fit for purpose.

Cooked a sponge pudding in the bowl in slow cooker came out perfect.

Just what Nigella asks for - I made 2 Christmas puds in these and despite 5 hours of steaming ( yes it was worth it!) they have been washed and are as good as new for next year .When plastic is practical and not damaging the planet!

Now that I have received the lids for my two basins these are great and would buy again. Thank you.

I can’t recommend these. They are very thin and made of a brittle plastic that breaks easily. One arrived with a cracked lid and another with a piece missing from the rim. The lids are also loose and do not fit well. Not fit for purpose.

When I first got the pudding basins I thought they looked sturdy. The lid of one of the basins snapped in half when I was trying to take the lid off

These are great, a nice size, I have used them a lot for making up pasta salad, rice, cous cous & potato salad for bbqs & other family gatherings....I haven't yet used them to make a steamed pudding, but do plan on using them to make bacon pudding & steak & onion pudding in the autumn & winter months, I can't see it being an issue they seem very sturdy & the added bonus of the lids makes it easier to store left overs in the fridge for a few days without the wasteful use of clingfilm or foil to cover it.
