  • The Pro: Excellent heat distribution ensures a perfectly crisp, even crust every time.
  • The Con: It's a bigger initial investment than standard metal rings.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Flour Pot Bakery in Brighton needed to increase the output of their hugely popular lemon tarts without sacrificing the artisanal quality their customers love. Their old metal rings were constantly sticking, denting, and  causing frustrating breakages during service.

"These Matfer rings have completely streamlined our pastry section. The release is so clean that we've almost eliminated wastage, and  they just feel like they'll last forever. No more wrestling with fragile tart shells!"

Ben Carter – Head Baker

The switch resulted in a 20% reduction in prep time for tarts and  cut down pastry breakage by over 90%, allowing them to meet demand more efficiently.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • There's no need to grease or flour the ring; the Exoglass is naturally non-stick.
  • For the crispiest base, place the ring directly onto a perforated baking sheet.
  • Ensure your pastry is well-chilled before lining the ring for the sharpest finish.

Keeping It Going

  • After use, simply pop it in the dishwasher for a hassle-free clean.
  • For any stubborn baked-on bits, a gentle soak and  a non-abrasive sponge will do the trick.
  • The rings stack neatly, saving you valuable shelf and  storage space.
  • Avoid using sharp knives or metal utensils directly inside the ring to maintain its pristine surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Pastry Ring

Not sure which ring is right for your bakes? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Material Matters

Metal is a common choice, but it can dent and  often requires greasing. A composite like Exoglass offers superior durability, built-in non-stick performance, and  extreme temperature resistance.

Size and  Depth

A 120mm tart ring is perfect for profitable individual portions. For larger, family-style bakes or deeper pies, you’ll want to look at rings with a larger diameter or greater height.

Perforated or Solid?

Perforated rings are fantastic for achieving an ultra-crispy crust, as they allow hot air to circulate freely. Solid rings, like this one, are excellent all-rounders for tarts, quiches, and  even setting mousses.

Ease of Cleaning

In a commercial kitchen, time is money. Choosing equipment that is dishwasher safe, like this Matfer FA988 pastry ring, makes the end-of-day clean-up much faster and  more efficient.

Brand Reputation

Brands like Matfer Bourgeat are trusted by professionals for a reason. Investing in quality means fewer replacements, more consistent results, and  equipment you can truly rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to grease this Exoglass tart ring?

A: No, one of the main benefits of the Exoglass material is its natural non-stick property. Your pastry should release cleanly without any grease or flouring.

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

A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed to withstand extreme temperature changes without warping or cracking, which is a huge time-saver in a professional kitchen.

Q: Is the Matfer FA988 pastry ring dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is fully dishwasher safe, making for quick and  hygienic cleaning after a busy service.

Q: What is the best way to bake with these rings?

A: For the crispiest base, we recommend placing the ring on a perforated baking tray. This allows hot air to circulate all around the pastry for a perfectly even bake.

Q: Will the ring lose its shape over time?

A: No, the Exoglass composite is extremely rigid and  durable. It is designed to maintain its perfect circular shape even with heavy, daily commercial use.

Q: What's the difference between this and  a cheaper silicone ring?

A: While silicone is flexible and  non-stick, Exoglass offers critical rigidity. This provides better support for pastry walls and  creates a much sharper, cleaner edge on your final product.

Q: Can I use this for things other than sweet tarts?

A: Definitely. It's a multipurpose tool that's perfect for individual savoury quiches, mini pies, or even as a shaping mould for setting mousses and  other plated desserts.

Q: How tall is this commercial tart ring 120mm?

A: This model has a height of 22mm, which is a standard and  versatile size for most classic tarts, cheesecakes, and  quiches.

What Customers Are Saying

Absolutely brilliant. We use these for our quiche of the day. They bake evenly and  pop out so easily. Worth every penny for a busy kitchen.

Sarah L. – Café Owner, York

A top-quality pastry ring 120mm. The Exoglass is fantastic, so much better than the metal ones we used to use. Cleans up in a flash too.

David P. – Head Chef, Bristol

Very sturdy and  reliable for our dessert menu. My only wish is that they came in more heights, but for a standard tart, they are perfect.

What Exactly is Exoglass and  Why Does It Matter?

Think of Exoglass as the superhero of kitchen composites. It's a special, non-porous material that’s rigid, naturally non-stick, and  incredibly durable. Unlike traditional metal rings that can dent, warp, or lose their non-stick coating over time, Exoglass holds its perfect shape even when going from a -20°C freezer straight into a 250°C oven. It’s like having the effortless release of silicone but with the solid structure and  sharp edges of metal, giving you the best of both worlds for a flawless, clean release every single time. That's why it's a favourite in a busy non-stick pastry ring for bakery environments.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Bakeries: For creating uniform, high-quality individual tarts and  quiches for your display counter.
  • Restaurant Kitchens: Ideal for crafting stunning desserts or savoury starters with reliable, professional results.
  • Catering Companies: The durable, stackable design makes them perfect for prepping and  transporting large batches.
  • Patisserie Schools: An essential tool for teaching students the fundamentals of perfect pastry making.
