The versatile basin can be used for prep or serving, as well as steaming puddings. The rim on the pudding basin is shaped so that the pudding can be sealed before steaming. The vented base allows bubbles to escape from underneath the basin, preventing it from tipping over in the pan. The Classic shape allows for easy release of the pudding after steaming, giving a pudding its distinct shape. The cream basin measures H11cm x Dia 19.5cm, with a capacity of 1.75 litre.
