Know before you buy
The three pressure clips lock the lid firmly onto the base, creating a tight seal that prevents water from entering the mold during the bain-marie (water bath) cooking process.
No, this mold is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water to maintain the integrity of the stainless steel.
No, this mold is designed specifically for stovetop or oven use in a water bath. It is not suitable for the microwave or freezer.
No, this model features a fixed, one-piece bottom. Because it is made of durable stainless steel, you can easily unmold your flan by running a thin knife around the edge before inverting it.
Since this mold does not have a nonstick coating, we recommend coating the interior with a thin layer of caramel or a light brushing of oil before adding your custard mixture to ensure a clean release.
