This isn't your standard high-street cake tin. The Matfer Bourgeat mould feels different from the moment you pick it up—it's light but incredibly sturdy.

  • Flawless Release: The non-stick performance is outstanding; cakes release cleanly without any sticking.
  • Lightweight Feel: Its lightness can take a moment to get used to if you prefer heavier bakeware.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Café in Canterbury was struggling with their old metal tins, which were causing inconsistent bakes and  frequent sticking, especially with their popular sticky toffee pudding loaf. They needed a more reliable solution to keep up with demand.

"We were losing valuable time and  product trying to rescue our bakes from the tins. Since we switched to the Matfer Exoglass moulds, the problem has vanished. They release perfectly, clean up in seconds, and  have made our whole baking process smoother."

Robert Finch – Owner & Head Baker

The switch resulted in baking-related waste being cut by over 25% and  allowed them to increase their daily loaf cake production to meet customer demand.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the mould a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • No need to season or 'break it in' – the non-stick surface is ready to go from the box.
  • For best results and  maximum stability, always place the mould on a flat baking sheet in the oven.
  • It's ready for both sweet and  savoury ingredients immediately.

Keeping It Going

  • To clean, either wash by hand with a soft sponge or simply place it in the dishwasher.
  • Avoid using sharp metal utensils like knives inside the mould to protect its surface. Stick to silicone or wood.
  • The rigid material allows the moulds to be stacked for easy, space-saving storage without risk of damage.
  • Check periodically for any stubborn residue and  soak in warm water if needed.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bakeware

Not sure which bakeware is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Material Matters

Consider your main use. Metal is traditional, silicone offers flexibility, but a composite like Exoglass gives you extreme durability, rigidity, and  superior non-stick properties for truly professional results.

Size and  Shape

Think about your menu's needs. Do you require a classic loaf shape like this 265mm cake mould for bakers, or various rounds and  squares for layered cakes and  specific pastries?

Ease of Cleaning

In a commercial kitchen, time is precious. Look for dishwasher-safe materials or surfaces that wipe clean in seconds to speed up your team's workflow and  improve hygiene.

Workflow Versatility

Can the bakeware go from freezer to oven? Can it handle both sweet and  savoury dishes? A multi-purpose mould that streamlines your process offers far better long-term value.

Long-Term Investment

A cheaper tin might seem like a bargain now, but a durable, warp-resistant mould like this will last for years, saving you a fortune in replacement costs down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this Exoglass mould need to be greased and  floured before use?

A: No, not at all. The material has excellent non-stick properties, so you can bake directly in it without any greasing, saving time and  ingredients.

Q: Can I use metal utensils to get my cake out?

A: It's strongly recommended to avoid sharp metal utensils like knives or spatulas to preserve the long life of the non-stick surface. Silicone, plastic, or wooden tools are perfect.

Q: What is the maximum oven temperature for this mould?

A: This Matfer FA963 baking mould is heat resistant up to 220°C (430°F), which is ideal for the vast majority of professional baking applications.

Q: Is the material flexible like a silicone mould?

A: No, it is a rigid composite material. This is a key benefit, as it ensures your bakes maintain a perfect, uniform shape without the sides bulging or losing definition.

Q: Is this suitable for baking bread?

A: Yes, it's excellent for smaller loaf-style breads, brioche, and  enriched doughs, as well as being a brilliant commercial cake baking mould.

Q: How does it really differ from a good quality metal tin?

A: The main advantages are the superior non-stick release without greasing, the ability to go directly from freezer to oven, and  its low heat inertia for safer, quicker handling post-bake.

Q: Is it heavy to handle?

A: No, at just 0.29kg, it is significantly lighter than a comparable metal tin, which helps reduce fatigue during a long and  busy baking shift.

Q: Can I really use it for savoury dishes too?

A: Absolutely. Its shape and  properties make it perfect for creating meat or vegetable terrines, pâtés, and  savoury bread puddings.

What Customers Are Saying

Absolutely brilliant. Sturdy, genuinely non-stick as advertised. Nothing I've made in it has even thought about sticking. A proper must-have for any serious baker.

Olivia J. – The Corner Patisserie, Bath

A fantastic commercial cake baking mould. It's a bit pricier than standard tins, but the quality difference is night and  day. It cleans like a dream which is a huge bonus.

Ben W. – Gastropub Chef, Leeds

Bought one to try and  now we own six of them. They stack neatly and  the freezer-to-oven feature is incredibly useful on busy weekends. Highly recommended.

What Makes 'Low Heat Inertia' a Baker's Best Friend?

You'll see 'low heat inertia' mentioned with Exoglass, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of how a cast iron pan stays scorching hot long after you've taken it off the hob. That's high heat inertia. This Exoglass baking mould professional tool is the exact opposite. It cools down incredibly fast the moment it leaves the oven.

This means you can handle the mould within seconds, without fumbling with thick oven gloves or waiting for it to become safe to touch. You can turn out your perfect cake, terrine, or loaf almost immediately, ready for the next step. It's a small detail that makes a massive difference to your speed and  safety during a busy service, preventing accidental burns and  speeding up your entire workflow.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Bakeries: For crafting signature loaf cakes and  pâtés with a flawless, professional finish every single time.
  • Hotel & Restaurant Kitchens: Ideal for preparing consistent desserts, terrines, and  breads for high-volume, high-standard service.
