  • Consistent Results: The even heat distribution means no more burnt bottoms or pale tops.
  • Requires Care: Avoid sharp metal knives or scourers to protect its non-stick surface.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tea Room in Bath was struggling with inconsistent results from their old metal tins for their popular signature ginger loaves. Sticking was a daily frustration, leading to product waste and  lost time during the busy morning prep.

"These Matfer moulds have completely sorted our production line. The loaves just pop out cleanly, looking perfect every time. Our clean-up time has been slashed, and  our bakers are definitely happier!"

Robert Green – Owner

The switch resulted in a near-elimination of damaged products, saving an estimated 15% on ingredient costs from waste and  increasing morning output capacity by 25%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give the mould a wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • For the first one or two bakes, it's a good idea to lightly grease the mould to help condition the surface.
  • Place on a flat, stable baking sheet to ensure an even base and  for easy handling in and  out of the oven.
  • Check that your oven racks are level to prevent any batter from settling unevenly.

Keeping It Going

  • To preserve the fantastic non-stick surface, avoid using sharp metal utensils or knives inside the mould.
  • The mould is fully dishwasher safe, but often a quick rinse and  wipe in the sink is all it needs.
  • Let the mould cool down before plunging it into cold water to prevent any risk of thermal shock.
  • Store them stacked or nested to save space, but ensure they are completely dry first.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bakeware

Not sure what fits best in your kitchen? Choosing the right professional bakeware can make a huge difference to your final product and  efficiency. Here are a few pointers to consider.

Material Matters

Exoglass provides rigidity and  amazing non-stick qualities. Silicone is flexible but can lack support. Traditional steel is a great heat conductor but can require more careful greasing and  lining.

Size and  Capacity

Think about your final product. Are you making individual portions, family-sized cakes, or components for a larger dessert? Match the mould capacity to your menu's portion control needs.

Shape & Function

While round and  square tins are staples, specialty shapes like this professional oblong baking mould can elevate your presentation and  allow for unique creations that make your menu stand out.

Heat Performance

Consider how a material bakes. Dark metal tins tend to brown crusts faster, while lighter-coloured materials or composites like Exoglass promote more even, gentle browning all over.

Ease of Cleaning

In a commercial setting, time is money. A dishwasher-safe, non-stick Exoglass cake pan will save countless hours of scrubbing compared to uncoated metal alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to grease or flour this mould before use?

A: It's recommended to lightly grease the mould for the first one or two uses to condition it. After that, its natural non-stick properties mean greasing is often unnecessary.

Q: Is Exoglass better than a silicone mould?

A: It serves a different purpose. Exoglass is rigid, providing more support for batters and  ensuring sharp, clean edges. It also promotes better browning than most silicone.

Q: Can I use this mould for frozen desserts?

A: Absolutely. It's rated for use in temperatures down to -20°C, making it perfect for setting mousses, parfaits, or ice cream cakes before serving.

Q: Is the Exoglass material safe? Is it BPA-free?

A: Yes, Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass bakeware is made from food-safe composite material and  is BPA-free.

Q: Can I cut my cake or terrine directly inside the mould?

A: It is strongly advised not to use sharp knives or metal utensils inside the mould, as this could scratch and  damage the non-stick surface.

Q: Will it stain if I use ingredients like beetroot or berries?

A: Exoglass is highly resistant to staining and  odours, making it suitable for a wide variety of both sweet and  savoury ingredients.

Q: What is the main advantage of low thermal inertia?

A: It prevents the mould from continuing to cook your bake after it has been removed from the oven, resulting in a more even finish and  preventing dry edges.

Q: Can I use this in a microwave oven?

A: No, Exoglass moulds are designed for conventional and  convection ovens and  are not suitable for microwave use.

What Customers Are Saying

Absolutely brilliant. We use these for our individual sticky toffee puddings and  the release is flawless. They've been through the dishwasher hundreds of times and  are still good as new.

Chloe Davies – The White Hart Pub, Norwich

A fantastic commercial cake baking mould. It produces a very professional-looking product. We bought one to test and  immediately ordered another 20 for the bakery.

Ben Carter – Artisan Bakehouse, Edinburgh

Does exactly what it says on the tin (or, mould!). Cooks very evenly. It is quite lightweight, which was a surprise, but it's clearly very tough stuff.

Why Low Heat Inertia Gives You a Better Bake

Ever taken a cake out of the oven only to find the edges have gone dry and  over-baked while resting? That's because traditional metal tins have high 'thermal inertia'—they hold onto heat for a long time. The Exoglass material in this mould is different; it has very low inertia.

Think of it like this: a thick woolly jumper stays warm long after you come inside, while a thin cotton t-shirt cools down almost instantly. This mould is like the t-shirt. It heats up fast in the oven and, crucially, cools down quickly once removed. This stops the 'carry-over' cooking process in its tracks, ensuring the bake is perfectly even from the centre to the very edge. It’s the secret to a tender crumb and  zero over-browning.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Patisseries & Cake Shops: For crafting elegant, individual cakes and  desserts with a sharp, professional finish.
  • Restaurant Kitchens: Ideal for creating unique savoury terrines or perfectly formed dessert components for plated dishes.
  • Hotel Function Catering: Produce consistent, high-quality mini loaves or desserts for events, room service, and  buffets.
  • Artisan Bakeries & Delis: Perfect for baking specialty mini-breads, pâtés, or individual fruit loaves for retail sale.
