Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Kitchen, a popular bakery in Harrogate, was struggling with wastage from their delicate fruit tarts sticking to their old metal rings, causing breakage and  inconsistent portion sizes. They switched their entire stock to Matfer Exoglass rings to improve reliability.

“The difference was immediate. Our pastries release cleanly every single time, which has been brilliant for morale and  our bottom line. We’re getting a much more professional finish, and  the time saved on cleaning is a huge bonus for the team.”

Robert Davies – Owner & Head Baker

Since the switch, The Lavender Kitchen has reduced its pastry waste by nearly 25% and  can now produce batches of tarts 15% faster due to the freezer-to-oven workflow.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the rings a quick wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
  • There's no need to grease or flour; the Exoglass surface is ready to go.
  • For best results, place on a perforated baking tray to allow air to circulate underneath.
  • Feel free to use them with fresh, chilled, or frozen pastry cases.

Keeping It Going

  • These rings are fully dishwasher safe for quick and  easy cleaning.
  • If handwashing, use a soft sponge or cloth to protect the surface.
  • Avoid using sharp metal knives or scrapers inside the ring.
  • Store them stacked neatly to prevent any accidental chips or damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Pastry Ring

Not sure which ring is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Material Matters

Metal is traditional, silicone is flexible, but a composite like Exoglass offers the best of both worlds: rigid durability and  fantastic non-stick properties.

Size and  Shape

Think about your final dish. This 75mm round ring is a versatile choice, perfect for individual desserts, starters, canapés, or high-end café treats.

Temperature Range

Can it go from freezer to oven? A ring that can handle extreme temperature changes, like this one, saves prep time and  reduces handling, which is a huge plus.

Ease of Cleaning

In a commercial kitchen, time is money. A dishwasher-safe commercial pastry ring saves precious time on washing up and  improves kitchen hygiene.

Straight vs. Fluted

Straight-sided rings like this Matfer FA983 pastry ring create clean, sharp, modern lines, making them ideal for contemporary tarts, cheesecakes, and  mousses.

The Exoglass Advantage: What Makes It Better Than Metal?

Ever had a perfect tart crust stick to the ring and  break at the last second? Exoglass is designed to prevent exactly that. Think of it like the difference between a traditional pan that needs careful seasoning and  a modern, high-tech non-stick one. Exoglass is a special composite polymer that's naturally non-stick right through, not just a thin coating. This means pastries release effortlessly without greasing. It also heats incredibly evenly, helping to prevent burnt edges and  undercooked centres, giving you a uniform golden-brown bake. And because the material is non-porous, it won't hold onto the flavour of yesterday's onion quiche when you're making a delicate vanilla cheesecake today.

    For creating perfectly consistent, high-end tarts, cheesecakes, and  individual quiches that look sharp and  professional.
