- Pros: The definition on the finished product is exceptional, creating a truly professional look.
- Cons: Its flexibility means you must use it on a baking tray for support when filling.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a renowned afternoon tea spot in Harrogate, was struggling to keep up with demand for their signature white chocolate and passionfruit domes. Their old, rigid moulds were time-consuming and led to frequent breakages during de-moulding.
"We were wasting so much time and product. The Pavoni silicone mould changed everything. The domes pop out perfectly every single time, and the finish is impeccable. It’s cut our prep for that one item by more than half."
Robert Finch – Head Pastry Chef
The result was a 50% increase in the production speed of their most popular dessert and a near-elimination of product wastage, directly boosting their profit margin per serving.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the mould a quick wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- For stability, place the flexible mould onto a rigid baking sheet or tray *before* you start filling it.
- Fill each cavity evenly using a piping bag for the cleanest and most consistent results.
- Ensure the mould is on a level surface in the oven or freezer to prevent uneven setting.
Keeping It Going
- The mould is completely dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- To prolong its life, avoid using sharp knives or metal utensils directly in the mould.
- Store it flat or rolled, not folded, to ensure it always keeps its original shape.
- The silicone naturally resists stains and odours, but a good wash after use is always best practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to grease or flour this mould?
A: No, the high-quality silicone has a natural non-stick finish. Your creations should release easily without any grease, though a light spray of oil can be used for very sticky recipes if you prefer.
Q: Can I use this for baking cakes in the oven?
A: Absolutely. It's rated for use up to +280°C, making it perfect for baking mini sponge domes or other baked goods.
Q: What is the diameter of each individual half sphere?
A: Each of the 15 cavities has a diameter of 50mm and a height of 23mm, perfect for individual portions.
Q: Is it suitable for making chocolates?
A: Yes, it's ideal. The smooth surface gives a professional, glossy finish to chocolate shells, and the flexibility makes de-moulding easy without cracking the chocolate.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: It is fully dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, you can wash it by hand in warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or scourers.
Q: Will it get stained by strong food colourings?
A: The food-grade silicone is highly resistant to staining and odours, even with vibrant ingredients. A thorough wash after use will keep it in top condition.
Q: What does HACCP approved mean?
A: It means the material has been tested and certified as safe for contact with food, meeting the strict Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point standards for professional kitchens.
Q: Does it fit in a standard oven?
A: Yes, its GN 1/3 dimensions (325 x 176mm) mean it will fit comfortably in all commercial ovens and most domestic ones too.
The Pavoni Advantage: Precision That Pays Off
When you choose a Pavoni mould, you're investing in more than just a piece of silicone; you're investing in brand consistency. For over 40 years, Pavoni Italia has been a trusted partner to pastry chefs and chocolatiers worldwide, renowned for its innovation and uncompromising quality. This Formaflex N936 mould is a reflection of that heritage. While other moulds might lose their shape or become sticky over time, Pavoni's commercial-grade silicone is engineered for the relentless demands of a professional kitchen. It won't warp, rust, or crack, meaning you won't be buying replacements season after season. The real-world value lies in the trust that every dessert you plate will have the same perfect, elegant finish, reinforcing your customers' perception of quality and making every dish truly Instagram-worthy. That reliability is the foundation of a great reputation.

Ever held your breath while trying to turn a cake out of a metal tin? That moment of uncertainty is what this commercial silicone mould for desserts is designed to eliminate. Think of its flexibility not as a weakness, but as its greatest strength. Instead of trying to force a delicate mousse or set panna cotta out of a rigid container, you simply peel the mould away from the dessert.
It's like carefully unwrapping a precious gift. This flexibility means no more tapping, shaking, or running knives around the edge, all of which risk ruining the perfect shape you've worked so hard to create. Every flawless dessert that comes out is one you can sell, reducing the costly wastage that comes from breakages and imperfections. It's a simple change in material that delivers a more reliable and profitable result.
