  • Pro: The clean release is fantastic, giving you sharp, professional edges without crumbling.
  • Con: They're completely rigid, so be sure to handle them with care to avoid drops.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Willow Tree Café in Harrogate was struggling with consistency for their signature lemon meringue tarts. Their old metal rings were becoming misshapen and  the pastry would often stick, leading to frustrating levels of waste and  slowing down their busy lunch service.

"We switched to the Matfer Exoglass rings and  the difference was instant. Every single tart shell comes out perfectly round and  beautifully browned. They just slide right off, which has massively sped up our plating process. Our regulars have even commented on how perfect they look!"

Robert Green – Head Chef

By making the switch, the café reduced pastry waste from breakage by over 25% and  increased their daily tart output potential during peak seasons.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the ring a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • For best results, place it on a perforated baking tray to allow for maximum air circulation.
  • The natural non-stick surface means minimal greasing is required, if any at all.
  • Always place on a flat tray to ensure the base of your pastry is perfectly even.

Keeping It Going

  • The ring is fully dishwasher safe for quick and  easy cleaning.
  • If washing by hand, avoid using abrasive metal scourers to protect the surface.
  • Allow to dry completely before storing to maintain its condition.
  • They are stackable, but store them carefully to avoid any heavy impacts.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Pastry Ring

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

Material Matters

Exoglass offers rigidity and  superior non-stick properties. Stainless steel is durable but often needs greasing. Silicone is flexible but can lack the sharp edge definition of a rigid mould.

Size and  Purpose

A 65mm ring is incredibly versatile, perfect for individual desserts, starters, or mini quiches. Consider what you'll be making most often when choosing a size.

Straight vs. Fluted

Straight-edged rings like this one provide a clean, modern, and  professional look. Fluted rings give a more traditional, decorative finish to tart shells.

Solid vs. Perforated

This solid ring is excellent for wet fillings and  batters. Perforated rings are designed to create an extra-crispy crust by allowing moisture to escape during baking.

Ease of Cleaning

For a busy commercial kitchen, a dishwasher-safe material like Exoglass is a non-negotiable feature that saves significant time and  labour on clean-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Thanks to the natural non-stick properties of Exoglass, minimal to no greasing is required. For very delicate preparations, a light coating of butter or spray can be used as a precaution.

Q: Can these rings be used in a microwave?

A: No, these rings are designed for conventional ovens and  are not suitable for microwave use.

Q: What is the maximum oven temperature for this tart ring?

A: The Matfer Exoglass tart ring is heat resistant up to a brilliant 250°C (482°F), making it suitable for almost all baking applications.

Q: Are the rings flexible like silicone?

A: No, they are rigid. This is a key benefit as it ensures they hold their perfect shape for uniform results and  won't bulge or bend during baking.

Q: Can I use this for setting mousses or other frozen desserts?

A: Absolutely! They are freezer-safe down to -20°C, making them perfect for assembling and  setting chilled or frozen creations before serving.

Q: How do you de-mould the tart cleanly?

A: Once baked, simply place the tart on a small jar or cup and  let the ring slide down. The non-stick surface ensures it releases with ease.

Q: Are they easy to store?

A: Yes, their rigid and  uniform shape means they are easily stackable, saving valuable space in your kitchen.

Q: Will the material stain with things like tomato or berry fillings?

A: The Exoglass composite is highly resistant to staining and  odours, ensuring it stays in top condition even after repeated use with colourful ingredients.

The Magic of Exoglass: More Than Just a Coating

You might see 'non-stick' and  think of a thin coating that can scratch or peel off over time. That's not what Exoglass is. It's a high-tech composite material, meaning its properties are baked right into its very structure. It's incredibly durable and  resistant to high temperatures, but its real secret is thermal conductivity. It heats up evenly and  holds that heat, ensuring the sides of your pastry cook at the same rate as the base for a perfectly crisp, golden result all over.

Think of it like the difference between a standard frying pan and  a heavy-duty cast iron skillet. The skillet's dense material provides a superior, more even heat that gives you a better result. The Matfer Exoglass tart mould works on the same principle, giving you that professional edge that flimsy metal simply can't match.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Bakeries & Pâtisseries

    Essential for creating uniform batches of high-end individual tarts and  desserts for display.
