Expert Review and Insights
In baking, the right tool doesn't just make the job easier; it defines the result. The Masterclass CS563 stands out because it focuses on the one thing that makes or breaks a baguette: the crust. The perforations are non-negotiable for achieving that authentic, crispy finish, and the quality of the non-stick means less faff and less waste. It’s a simple, effective workhorse.

- Best Feature: The perforated base is fantastic for achieving an authentic, crunchy crust.
- Heads Up: Its specialised shape is perfect for baguettes but less versatile for other bakes.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Flour Pot Bakery' in Bristol was looking to improve the consistency of their lunchtime sandwich baguettes. Their old, flat trays often resulted in uneven bakes and a lot of sticking, causing delays and waste during their busiest periods.
"We switched to these Masterclass trays and the difference was immediate. The crust is now spot-on every single time and the loaves just pop right out. It's saved our bakers so much time and frustration, and our wastage on baguettes has dropped to virtually zero."
Robert Evans – Head Baker
The bakery now produces an extra 20 perfectly baked baguettes during the morning rush without any additional staff, directly meeting increased customer demand.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the tray a quick wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- The Quantum 2 non-stick surface doesn't require any pre-seasoning with oil.
- Always check that the tray dimensions fit comfortably on your oven shelves with enough room for air to circulate.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the non-stick coating, avoid using sharp metal utensils; opt for silicone or wood instead.
- While it is dishwasher safe, a simple hand wash is often all that's needed and will help prolong its life.
- Always dry the tray thoroughly after washing before you store it away.
- Steer clear of abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to use flour or baking parchment with this tray?
A: Thanks to the high-quality Quantum 2 non-stick coating, you shouldn't need any parchment or excessive flour. Your baguettes should release easily after baking.
Q: What is the maximum oven temperature for this tray?
A: Masterclass carbon steel bakeware is typically safe up to 220°C (428°F), which is ideal for baking most types of bread, including baguettes.
Q: Can I bake other types of bread on this, like ciabatta?
A: It's specifically shaped for baguettes or similar thin loaves. A flatter bread like ciabatta would be better suited to a flat baking sheet to allow it to spread naturally.
Q: How do the perforations help?
A: The holes allow hot air to circulate and moisture to escape from the bottom of the dough, resulting in a much crispier, more even crust all around.
Q: Is the carbon steel material heavy?
A: It weighs just 0.63kg, so it's substantial enough to be durable and prevent warping, but light enough to handle easily, even when full.
Q: Will the non-stick coating peel or flake?
A: The Quantum 2 coating is designed for commercial use and is very durable. To ensure its longevity, avoid using metal utensils and abrasive scourers.
Q: Can I stack these trays for storage?
A: Yes, they can be stacked. To be extra careful with the non-stick surface, you could place a thin cloth or piece of kitchen paper between each tray.
Q: Is this a commercial-grade product?
A: Absolutely. The Masterclass brand and heavy-duty carbon steel construction are specifically designed to withstand the demands of a busy commercial baguette baking tray environment.

Explore more from Master ClassHow Perforations Create the Perfect Crust
Ever wondered why some baguettes have a wonderfully crisp crust while others are a bit soft and disappointing? The secret is often in the tray's perforations. Think of those little holes as escape routes for steam. As the dough bakes, moisture is released. On a solid tray, that steam gets trapped underneath, essentially steaming the bottom of the loaf and leading to the dreaded 'soggy bottom'.
This crusty bake baguette tray allows that steam to escape while letting hot, dry air circulate freely all around the dough. It's a bit like using a convection setting specifically for the bottom of your bread. The result is a uniformly golden-brown crust that's delightfully crisp and crunchy all over, giving you that authentic texture and bite that defines a truly great baguette.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Bakeries: For producing consistent, high-quality signature baguettes that form the backbone of your bread offering.
- Cafés and Sandwich Bars: Ideal for baking fresh baguettes daily to serve the freshest, crustiest sandwiches in town.
- Hotel Kitchens: A reliable choice for the breakfast buffet, ensuring guests start their day with beautifully baked bread.
- Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for serving warm, fresh bread alongside soups, starters, or as part of a bread basket.
