Quiche from James Martin

Postby mark111757 » Sat May 09, 2020 9:41 pm

On the may 2 Saturday morning, there was a recipe for quiche and it called for a 27cm tart tin. Any of you wonderful folks take a guess at how deep this tin/ring is. It reminds me of the ring that fanny cradock used when she made a mince pie in the Fanny cradock cooks christmas series.

It is quite a deep tin Mark, maybe about 3"? It does look good!

If that's a 27cm tin, those are large tomatoes...

We’ll, this is the recipe
https://www.itv.com/saturdaymorning/sat ... her-cheese

So the filling is 4 eggyolks and 400ml cream
Which for a 10/11 inch tart dish isn’t that much, so I don’t think it would be all that deep

Probably like this one, I have the 8inch/20 cm version and I make a total volume of 300 mlof the egg/Cretan mix to fill it

Thanks all for your input.

Here is the recipe from his web site

Still not sure about the tart ring or however you would describe it.

In the summertime I have seen beef steak tomatoes that had huge slices when done up.

Yes, I've seen very large tomatoes on sale at the supermarket. They are sold individually.

That photo looks like it was baked in a springform tin. My 9" springform a good 2.5 - 3" deep - just as Renee says.I think the quiche in the photo has double quantities in a 9-10" springform.

Recipe volume:
400ml milk + cream
4 eggs = +- 250ml
4 yolks = +- 100ml
= +- 750 ml

A usual quantity as Stokey says.

volume = area x depth
A 27cm tin will fill to a depth of 1.3 say 1.5 cm deep not including pastry. My 8 - 9" tart/quiche tin is about 2.5 cm/ 1" deep.

So it would be a thin quiche normal 27cm/10.5 " tin or dish for quantities given in your recipe link, Mark.

I would use a 21 - 33 cm/ 8-9" tin for a more usual depth.

Oops missed out the filling quantities. duh. Good thing I wasn't making it. Scrub the 750 ml and probably double it which would make it as in photo. Big. Deep. Yep. 27 cm tin, 8-10 cm deep.

This is something that annoys me about James Martin, he has a deli shop and it seems that most of the bakes he makes on tv are the size they make for the shop, he can’t be bothered to scale them down to a domestic size

He did a whole series on gateaux and desserts a while ago, and all the gateaux were the monsters ou see on catered buffets, no use for a dinner party or family birthday unless your family is huge

When I saw the picture I thought the quiche looked smaller in diameter than one often makes, possibly 5" or 6" but with higher sides. There isn't much of a reference point, I assumed it was sitting on a normal domestic baking tray and that the tomato used was quite a small one.

You would have thought. But of course tv is merely the obligatory PR exercise for most tv chefs/celebs. They're not there for viewers. Viewers are there for them. Oh drat. There I go getting all cynical again.

Thanks Pampy. I'll ask on the admin board.
