Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Bakery in Bath was struggling to achieve a consistent, authentic crust on their canelés using standard bakeware, leading to wasted batches. They upgraded to the de Buyer Eastomoule 6 Bordelais mould to improve quality and reliability.
"The difference was instant. We got that perfect caramelisation we were chasing, and the non-stick surface means we haven't lost a single canelé to the tin since we switched. Our prep time is down and our customers have noticed the quality jump."
David Chen – Head Baker
The bakery eliminated product wastage on its canelé line and increased its saleable output by 25% within the first month.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Preparation

The De Buyer Difference: Patisserie Perfection, Batch After Batch
Choosing de Buyer isn't just about buying a piece of bakeware; it's an investment in over 180 years of French culinary heritage and innovation. This isn't just a commercial Bordelais silicone mould; it's a tool engineered for consistency, a quality that's priceless in a professional kitchen. The real value emerges over time: fewer failed batches mean less food waste and lower ingredient costs. The superior durability means you aren't replacing equipment every year. For a business, this translates to a more predictable, profitable operation. De Buyer understands that for a professional, every detail matters—from the perfect caramelisation on a canelé to the workflow efficiency of your kitchen. This mould embodies that philosophy, delivering uncompromising quality that allows your skill to shine through, bake after perfect bake.
Explore more from De BuyerWhy Metal Powder in Silicone Makes a Difference
Ever wondered why some silicone bakeware gives you a perfectly browned, crisp exterior while others leave you with a pale, slightly steamed result? The secret is in the material itself. This de Buyer Bordelais baking mould isn't just silicone; it's a patented foam silicone with metal powder mixed in.
Think of it like this: standard silicone is a great insulator, which is why it's used for oven gloves. That’s great for stopping heat, but not so good for conducting it into your bake. The microscopic metal particles in this Elastomoule act like tiny heat conductors, absorbing the oven's energy and transferring it directly to the batter. This mimics the behaviour of a traditional metal tin, giving you that all-important Maillard reaction for a deep, caramelised crust, while still giving you the flexible, non-stick convenience that makes silicone so popular. It’s the cleverest way to get the best of both worlds.
