  • Pros: The cake release is flawless, even with minimal greasing. A real time-saver.
  • Cons: Lacks the weight of steel, so always use it on a baking sheet.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Bakehouse in York decided to overhaul their bakeware after struggling with inconsistent results and  high wastage from their old, dented metal tins. They needed something that could keep up with demand for their signature Victoria sponge.

"Switching to the Matfer Exoglass moulds was a revelation. We get a perfect, clean release every single time, which has made our finishing process so much faster. The bakes are more even, and  the moulds are incredibly easy to clean, which is a big win for my team."

David Chen – Head Baker

The bakery reduced its cake wastage by over 30% and  increased its daily cake output due to the faster turnaround and  elimination of damaged products.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the mould a quick wash in warm, soapy water.
  • For best results, lightly grease the mould, especially for stickier recipes.
  • Always place the mould on a flat baking sheet or rack for stability in the oven.
  • The mould is ready for use in freezers, proving cabinets, and  conventional ovens.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after each use to maintain its non-stick performance.
  • The mould is fully dishwasher safe for your convenience.
  • Avoid using sharp metal utensils or abrasive scourers to prevent scratching.
  • Store flat or stacked to maintain its shape for a lifetime of use.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bakeware

Not sure which mould is right for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Consider what you're baking. Metal is great for heat conduction, but Exoglass offers superior non-stick properties and  durability, preventing dents and  rust.

Size and  Shape

Think about your portion control and  presentation. This 195mm round cake mould is ideal for standard 8-inch cakes, tarts, and  quiches, a versatile size for any menu.

Temperature Tolerance

If you prep and  freeze components, a mould that can go from freezer to oven, like this one, is a massive time-saver and  streamlines your kitchen workflow.

Ease of Cleaning

In a commercial kitchen, time is money. A dishwasher-safe mould that doesn't require hard scrubbing makes clean-up faster and  improves hygiene.

Stacking & Storage

Kitchen space is always at a premium. Look for rigid, stackable moulds that won't warp or take up unnecessary room in your storage area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Exoglass material need seasoning like cast iron?

A: Not at all. It's ready to use after a simple wash. Its non-stick properties are built into the material itself, not a coating.

Q: Can I use this mould in a microwave?

A: No, the Exoglass material is designed for conventional ovens and  freezers, but it is not suitable for microwave use.

Q: How does it compare to a silicone mould?

A: It's much more rigid than silicone, which means it's easier to handle when filled with batter and  gives your cakes sharper, more defined edges.

Q: Will it stain with things like tomato or berry fillings?

A: Exoglass is highly resistant to staining and  odours, making it perfect for both sweet and  savoury dishes without any flavour transfer.

Q: What's the best way to get the cake out?

A: Let it cool for a few minutes after coming out of the oven. Thanks to its low heat inertia and  non-stick surface, the cake should release with a simple turn.

Q: Can I use metal utensils to serve from it?

A: We'd advise against it. To protect the surface and  ensure a long life, it's best to use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils.

Q: Does the colour of the mould affect baking time?

A: The dark colour of the Exoglass round baking mould helps to absorb heat efficiently, promoting excellent, even browning for a perfect finish.

Q: Will it warp or bend over time with heavy use?

A: No, it's designed to be extremely hardwearing and  will maintain its shape even with constant use in a demanding professional kitchen.
