- Pros: The rigid steel construction gives you incredibly sharp, clean lines that silicone just can't match.
- Cons: It lacks the flexibility of silicone, so demoulding requires a little more care and technique.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Rolling Pin Bakery" in Cardiff was struggling with consistency for their popular festive yule logs. Their collection of mismatched, older tins resulted in uneven sizes and occasional leaks, causing waste and frustration during their busiest period.
"We switched to the Matfer CP745 moulds and the difference was immediate. Every log is now identical, perfectly shaped, and looks incredibly professional. Our customers have noticed the sharper finish, and our kitchen team loves how reliable and easy they are to clean."
Robert Davies – Head Baker
The bakery successfully reduced its dessert preparation waste by 20% and achieved a more streamlined, predictable production process.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and dry completely.
- For easy release, lightly grease the interior and line with a plastic film or acetate sheet.
- Always place the mould on a flat, level tray before filling to ensure an even base.
- When filling, tap the tray gently on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.
Keeping It Going
- Clean immediately after use to prevent residue from drying on.
- Wash with a soft cloth or sponge; avoid steel wool or abrasive cleaners which can scratch the surface.
- It is dishwasher safe, but handwashing is often recommended to maintain its pristine finish.
- Store in a dry place to prevent water spots and ensure it's ready for its next use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this mould in the oven?
A: Yes, being stainless steel, it is perfectly safe for baking in the oven. It's just as good for a baked terrine as it is for a frozen parfait.
Q: Is it suitable for use in a commercial freezer or blast chiller?
A: Absolutely. Stainless steel is ideal for rapid freezing and performs excellently in both commercial freezers and blast chillers.
Q: How do I stop my desserts from sticking to the mould?
A: The best method is to line the mould with a food-safe plastic film or a flexible acetate sheet. This creates a barrier and makes lifting the finished dessert out incredibly easy and clean.
Q: Is this mould dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, it is. However, for best long-term care and to avoid any potential water spots from hard water, a quick handwash with a soft sponge is often just as easy.
Q: What kind of desserts is this best for?
A: It's incredibly versatile! It's perfect for classic yule logs (bûche de Noël), ice cream logs, mousse cakes, parfaits, jellies, and even savoury pates and terrines.
Q: The mould is U-shaped, does it come with end caps to seal it?
A: This model is an open U-shaped trough, designed for creating long logs that are then cut to size. End caps are not included or typically required for its intended use.
Q: At 1.7kg, isn't it quite heavy?
A: It has a reassuring heft, which is a sign of its quality, thick-gauge steel construction. This weight prevents it from warping and helps it retain temperature effectively.
Q: Can I use it for making chocolate bars or logs?
A: Yes, it's excellent for chocolatiers. Its smooth surface gives a fantastic gloss to tempered chocolate, and its size allows for large, impressive creations.

Explore more from Matfer BourgeatWhy Stainless Steel Beats Silicone for a Perfect Set
Ever wonder why professional patissiers often favour a solid metal mould over a flexible silicone one? It all comes down to thermal dynamics and structure. Think of this stainless steel mould as a super-conductor for temperature. When you place it in the freezer, it gets ice-cold, fast, and stays that way, chilling your mousse or parfait evenly from the outside in. This avoids a semi-frozen centre with overly icy edges.
The rigidity is its other superpower. Where a cake roll silicone baking mould might bulge or bow slightly under the weight of its contents, this steel mould holds its ground. It’s like drawing a line with a solid steel ruler versus a flimsy plastic one—one gives you a guaranteed straight, crisp edge every time. That's the secret to those incredibly sharp, professional-looking desserts.
