I am surprised to see the tin so expensive here because my local cookshop sells it cheaper, and they are not cheap.
This is an easy-to-assemble tin but is unsuitable for a dishwasher - no problem because I don't have one. To clean, it needs to be soaked in warm soapy water for a short while, then any corner residue comes away with a standard nylon washing up brush. However, while the cake does not stick it nevertheless leaves residue, particularly on the dividing sections. You would probably be better off using neatly cut and well buttered greaseproof because it is not a non-stick tin as such. The outside edges of the cake crisp up quite markedly and have to be shaved off so that the jam can go on, making assembly of the finished cake very fiddly.
The rectangular spaces are not very wide, so putting in mixture is somewhat difficult. You mwill need 2 dessert spoons and a flexibly spatula. To follow any recipe for a Battenberg, digital scales should be used to divide the mixture evenly otherwise you will be shaving of bits of cake. Silverwood always supply very reliable recipes - don't know why they don't produce a recipe book to up their brand image - but this one suggest pink food colouring. The cake comes out as a gorgeous texture and keeps well but, if you use Morrison's pink food colouring, beware, because your Battenberg will turn out albino. You are probably better off investing in good old fashioned red food colouring, which is what people used to use many years ago.
This is the only Battenberg tin I could find on the market and it kind of did its job but is only for the more expoerienced baker.
