Know before you buy
This mold is made from thick, high-quality steel. This material is excellent for baking because it conducts heat evenly, ensuring your desserts brown consistently without hot spots.
Yes, while it is built for baking, the steel construction works perfectly for chilled desserts. Its precise shape makes it easy to unmold delicate mousses or gelatin-based recipes once they have set.
Because this is a steel mold, we recommend greasing it thoroughly with butter or a non-stick spray before adding your batter or mixture. For particularly delicate cakes, lining the bottom with a small circle of parchment paper can provide extra insurance.
The mold holds 12 ounces, or approximately 0.4 liters. It is designed for individual-sized Charlotte desserts or smaller portions, so check your recipe yield to ensure it fits this specific volume.
To keep the steel in top condition, hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately to prevent rust. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
