Know before you buy
The perforations allow air to circulate freely around the dough during the baking process. This promotes even heat distribution, resulting in a crisp, uniform crust and preventing the pastry from shrinking or sagging.
While the smooth interior surface is designed for easy release, we recommend lightly greasing the ring or using a non-stick spray, especially if you are working with delicate shortcrust pastry.
Because this ring is bottomless, it should be placed directly onto a perforated baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. This creates a stable base and ensures the dough stays within the mold while baking.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is durable and dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the finish and ensure no debris remains in the perforations.
This ring is primarily designed for baking. While it can be used for shaping cold desserts, the perforations will cause liquid mixtures to leak out unless you line the interior with acetate film.
