- The Cons: It has a higher upfront cost than standard metal bakeware.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Cheltenham was struggling with inconsistent bakes from their old, warped metal loaf tins. They decided to invest in the Matfer FA962 Exoglass baking mould to improve the quality and presentation of their best-selling ginger loaf.
"We were fed up with cakes sticking and having to trim off uneven edges. Since switching to the Matfer moulds, every single loaf comes out perfectly. They slide right out, the crust is beautiful, and our wastage has dropped to virtually zero. It’s made our baking process so much more efficient."
Michael Edwards – Head Baker
The bakery saw a measurable improvement, reducing prep and finishing time by over 15% thanks to easier de-moulding and faster cleanup.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- For best results, lightly grease the mould, although its natural non-stick is excellent.
- Always place the mould on a flat baking sheet or rack in the oven for stability.
- It's ready to go from freezer to a preheated oven, no thawing needed.
Keeping It Going
- To clean, you can pop it straight in the dishwasher or wash by hand.
- Avoid using sharp metal utensils, knives, or abrasive scourers to protect the surface.
- The material is non-porous, so it won't absorb odours or stain easily.
- Store flat or stacked to maintain its shape for years of service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Exoglass better than silicone for professional use?
A: For many chefs, yes. Exoglass is rigid, so it provides better support for batters and ensures a uniform shape. It also tends to provide a better, more even crust than silicone.
Q: Does this Matfer FA962 baking mould need to be greased and floured?
A: While Exoglass has excellent non-stick properties, a light greasing is still recommended, especially for very delicate or sugary mixtures, to guarantee a perfect release every time.
Q: Can I use metal spatulas to get my cake out?
A: It's best to avoid metal utensils as they can scratch the surface. We recommend using plastic, silicone, or wooden spatulas to prolong the life of your mould.
Q: What is the maximum oven temperature for this mould?
A: This Exoglass mould is heat resistant up to 220°C (428°F), which covers the vast majority of baking recipes.
Q: Is the Exoglass material BPA-free?
A: Yes, all Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass products are BPA-free, making them a safe choice for food preparation.
Q: Will it stain if I bake something with strong colours, like a tomato-based terrine?
A: Exoglass is non-porous and highly resistant to staining, so it should wash clean without retaining colours or flavours from your ingredients.
Q: Can it be used in a microwave?
A: No, Exoglass bakeware is designed for use in conventional ovens and is not suitable for microwave use.
Q: How does it compare to a standard professional cake tin 215mm made of metal?
A: It offers more even heat distribution without hot spots, won't rust or warp over time, and is significantly easier to clean and de-mould than most metal alternatives.

Ever wondered what 'Exoglass' actually is? It's not just a fancy name for plastic. Think of it as the carbon fibre of the bakeware world – it's a special, non-porous composite material that’s incredibly strong, rigid, and designed for superior thermal performance. Unlike metal tins that can have hot spots, Exoglass heats up incredibly evenly, giving you a consistent bake and a perfect golden-brown colour all over. And unlike silicone, it’s rigid, so it won’t bulge or wobble when you pour your batter in. The real magic is how it transfers heat and then cools down fast, making for a perfect bake and a safer kitchen.
