Tupperware Ultra Pro Review
A little while back the good folks at Tupperware told us about their new range of baking dishes and asked us to give one a try. Like many of you, we have always loved the streamline storage solutions Tupperware products provide; we’re a bit over the top when it comes to being organised!
Anyways, as a lover of a good bake, especially in winter, we were happy to take it for a test drive.
We used the Tupperware Ultra Pro 3.3 Litre rectangle dish to make an Apple & Rhubarb Crumble for a dinner party with friends. The crumble was a delicious and warming winter dessert.
We were pretty impressed with the UltraPro. The biggest drawcard of the range is that it’s really lightweight, and it’s designed so you can take it from oven to table, fridge to microwave and then straight in the dishwasher. The rectangular dish was a bit too big for our microwave though, so we didn’t test it there. However, it performed really well in the oven – the crumble cooked evenly and didn’t burn or stick around the edges because of the non-stick surface.
That meant serving it up was easy, and it presented really nicely on the dinner table. Come clean up time it was great to just pop it in the dishwasher and not have to soak and scrub at baked on stains.
Next time we’ll be using it to make a main meal – we’re liking the look of this baked pasta recipe by Tupperware so we think we’ll give that one a try.
Happy baking!
