Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tree Bistro in Harrogate was looking to elevate its dessert menu but struggled with consistency using lower-quality silicone moulds for its signature lemon possets. The desserts were often misshapen and  difficult to turn out, leading to wastage and  slower plating times during busy services.

"We were probably losing one in ten possets just trying to get them out of the old moulds. It was infuriating. Since switching to the Matfer Exopan moulds, every single one comes out perfectly. It's saved us time, money, and  a lot of stress."

Samuel Jones – Head Chef

The bistro successfully eliminated dessert wastage from sticking and  reduced its dessert plating time by an estimated 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Grease the moulds lightly with butter or oil before their very first use to season the surface.
  • These moulds are designed for oven use only; do not use them in the microwave or on a direct heat source.
  • Avoid using sharp metal utensils like knives or scrapers inside the moulds to protect the non-stick coating.

Keeping It Going

  • Always hand wash with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth or sponge. They are not suitable for dishwashers.
  • Dry the moulds thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent any risk of rust.
  • If stacking for storage, consider placing a small piece of kitchen paper between each mould to protect the inner coating.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bakeware

Not sure what fits best in your kitchen's workflow? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing professional bakeware.

Material Matters

Fine steel, like that used in Exopan, offers superior heat conduction for even baking. Aluminium is a great budget-friendly alternative, while silicone offers flexibility but less browning.

The Non-Stick Factor

A quality multi-layer non-stick coating is crucial for delicate items like mousses and  puddings. It saves time, reduces waste, and  makes for a much cleaner presentation.

Size and  Shape for Portions

Consider your menu's portion control. Individual moulds like this 6x6cm cake mould commercial are perfect for consistent sizing and  elegant plating, which customers notice.

Built for Business

Look for 'heavy-duty' or 'professional-grade' construction. Domestic bakeware simply won't withstand the daily high temperatures and  repeated use of a commercial kitchen.

Cleaning and  Turnaround

Consider your warewashing process. While hand-wash only items often perform better, ensure your team has the time and  space to care for them properly to maintain their lifespan.

A: Each mould measures 60mm in height and  60mm in diameter (6x6cm), ideal for single portions.

Q: Do I need to use grease or flour with them?

A: The non-stick surface is excellent, but a very light greasing is recommended for the first use and  for particularly sticky recipes like caramel-heavy puddings.

A: Yes, they are suitable for setting chilled or frozen desserts like parfaits or ice cream bombes.

Q: Is the 'Exopan' material safe for food?

A: Absolutely. Matfer Bourgeat's Exopan range is designed for professional food use and  meets all relevant safety standards.

Q: Will the black colour affect baking times?

What is Exopan Steel and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered what makes professional bakeware different? It often comes down to the material, and  the 'Exopan' in this Matfer Exopan dariole mould is a perfect example. It's not just a simple non-stick coating; it's a specialised system. The mould itself is made from fine steel, chosen because it heats up quickly and, more importantly, distributes that heat incredibly evenly across the entire surface. This eliminates 'hot spots' that can ruin a delicate bake.

Think of it like this: the steel core is the engine, providing consistent power for a perfect bake. The multi-layer non-stick coating on the inside is the magic carpet. It's specifically designed to be tough enough for commercial use while providing a flawless release. So, while your dessert gets the even, gentle cooking it needs from the steel, the coating ensures it will slide out beautifully onto the plate without any fuss or breakage. It’s the combination of even cooking and  effortless release that delivers professional results every time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Patisseries & Bakeries: For creating perfectly uniform individual mousses, cheesecakes, and  puddings for your display counter.
  • Hotel Restaurants: Essential for crafting elegant, single-portion desserts for à la carte menus and  room service.
  • Event Caterers: A must-have for prepping hundreds of identical, easy-to-plate desserts for weddings and  functions.
  • Fine Dining Bistros: Perfect for adding a touch of professional polish and  consistency to your dessert menu.
