Know before you buy
The perforations allow heat to circulate more effectively around the dough, which helps achieve a crisp, evenly browned crust and prevents the pastry from shrinking or puffing during the bake.
While the smooth interior finish is designed for easy release, it is still recommended to lightly grease or butter the inside of the ring to ensure your tart shell slides out perfectly every time.
This ring is designed to be placed directly onto a perforated baking sheet or a silicone mat. You build your tart shell inside the ring on the tray, and the base of the pastry bakes directly on the surface underneath.
Yes, the high-quality stainless steel construction is durable and dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is often recommended to maintain the finish and prevent any potential warping over time.
Absolutely. The rectangular shape is excellent for modern pastry designs, including layered entremets, shortbreads, or even savory vegetable galettes that require a clean, professional edge.
