Expert Review and  Insights

The Matfer Bourgeat range is a staple in professional pastry kitchens for a reason. This oblong mould is all about efficiency and  consistency. The Exoglass material is exceptionally rigid, giving you sharp, clean lines that you just don't get from silicone, and  the non-stick properties are second to none, even with sticky mixtures. It’s a proper piece of kit built to last.

  • Pro: The release is flawless; bakes slide out effortlessly, saving time and  waste.
  • Con: It's completely rigid, so it lacks the flexibility of silicone for demoulding.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Bakery in Bristol was struggling with consistency for their popular range of loaf cakes. Their old metal tins were starting to warp and  lose their non-stick coating, resulting in wasted product and  extra labour costs for lining each one.

"Switching to the Matfer Exoglass moulds was a revelation. The bakes are identical every single time, and  they just slide right out. It's saved my team at least an hour a day in prep and  cleaning, which is huge for a small operation like ours."

Robert Davies – Owner & Head Baker

After the switch, The Corner Bakery saw a 20% reduction in preparation time and  completely eliminated product loss from cakes sticking to the tin.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • First Use: Give the mould a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first bake. No seasoning is required.
  • Light Greasing: While naturally non-stick, a very light greasing is recommended for particularly sugary or sticky mixtures.
  • Use on a Rack: For best results and  even heat circulation, always place the mould on a baking sheet or oven rack.
  • Temperature Safe: It’s happy in ovens up to 250°C, making it suitable for almost all baking tasks.

Keeping It Going

  • Cleaning: The mould is dishwasher safe, but a simple hand wash is often all that's needed.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Don't use harsh scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the non-stick surface.
  • No Sharp Utensils: Avoid using metal knives or sharp spatulas directly in the mould to prevent scratches.
  • Storing: The rigid material means it won’t get squashed, but store it carefully to avoid chipping the edges.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bakeware

Not sure which material fits your kitchen best? When you're looking for a professional oblong cake mould, a few things matter. Here’s a quick guide to making the right choice.

Material Matters

Exoglass offers rigidity and  superb non-stick quality. Silicone is flexible but can lack support for sharp-edged bakes. Traditional metal tins are great all-rounders but can warp and  lose their coating over time.

Size and  Shape

Consider your portion sizes. This oblong cake tin 55mm is perfect for standard loaf cakes, pâtés, and  terrines. Always check dimensions to ensure it fits your ovens and  your menu's needs.

Durability for Pros

A professional kitchen needs equipment that lasts. Look for materials like Exoglass that are designed to resist warping, chipping, and  the daily grind of a commercial environment.

Ease of Cleaning

Time spent scrubbing is time wasted. A dishwasher-safe, non-stick surface, like on this Matfer FA891 baking mould, is a non-negotiable for a fast-paced kitchen.

Versatility is Key

Can it handle both sweet and  savoury? A mould that's equally at home making a lemon drizzle cake or a chicken liver terrine offers far better value and  utility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to grease and  flour this mould before using?

A: Thanks to the natural non-stick properties of Exoglass, you usually don't need to. However, for very high-sugar recipes, a light greasing can provide extra peace of mind.

Q: Can this mould go directly from the freezer to the oven?

A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed to withstand thermal shock, going from -20°C to 250°C, which is a huge time-saver in a professional kitchen.

Q: What is the maximum oven temperature it can handle?

A: The Matfer FA891 is safe for use in ovens up to 250°C (482°F).

Q: Is it flexible like silicone bakeware?

A: No, it is completely rigid. This ensures your bakes have perfectly straight sides and  a uniform shape, unlike some flexible silicone moulds.

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

A: It's best to avoid metal utensils like knives or sharp spatulas as they can scratch the surface. A silicone or nylon spatula is a much better choice.

Q: Is this oblong exoglass cake mould suitable for making savoury pâtés and  terrines?

A: Yes, it's perfect for them. The non-porous material doesn't absorb odours or flavours, so you can switch between sweet and  savoury without any issues.

Q: How does it differ from a standard non-stick metal tin?

A: Exoglass is a solid composite material, so the non-stick property is integral to the mould itself, it won't peel or flake off like coatings on metal tins can over time.

Q: Is it tough enough for a commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, it's designed to be fully dishwasher safe, standing up to the high temperatures and  powerful detergents used in commercial machines.

What is Exoglass and  Why is it a Cut Above?

Ever wondered what 'Exoglass' actually is? It's a special composite material developed by Matfer Bourgeat, and  it’s the secret behind this mould's fantastic performance. Unlike flimsy silicone or standard metal tins, Exoglass is incredibly rigid and  durable, so it will never warp or bend, even after years of going from a freezing cold environment to a blazing hot oven.

Think of it like the chassis of a high-performance car versus a standard family runabout. Both do the job, but one is engineered for precision, durability, and  consistent results under pressure. The material has very low heat inertia, meaning it heats up and  cools down incredibly fast. This gives you a better, more even bake and  means you can safely handle the mould just seconds after it leaves the oven – no more burnt fingers or waiting around for tins to cool.
