Know before you buy
The perforations allow for better air circulation around the pastry, which ensures the crust bakes evenly and achieves a consistent, golden-brown finish. It also helps prevent the dough from shrinking or puffing up unevenly during the baking process.
While the stainless steel interior is designed for a clean release, we recommend lightly greasing the ring or using a non-stick spray to ensure your tart shell slides out perfectly every time.
