Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The heat distribution is phenomenal, resulting in a consistent, professional-standard bake across all 30 cavities.
- Con: Its flexibility means it absolutely needs a rigid baking tray underneath for support when moving.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Buttercup Pantry, a bustling café in the heart of Cardiff, wanted to upgrade their bakeware to improve the consistency of their popular madeleines, which often sold out during the lunch rush.
"We were using standard metal tins and the results were always a bit hit-and-miss, with lots of sticking and uneven browning. The DeBuyer DR485 Elastomoule tray completely solved that. The release is perfect every single time, and the quality is just fantastic."
Ben Carter – Owner & Head Baker
The switch resulted in almost zero product wastage and cut their batch preparation time by 25%, allowing them to keep up with customer demand effortlessly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the mould a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- For stability, always place the flexible mould on a rigid baking sheet or perforated tray before filling and moving.
- Thanks to the non-stick surface, greasing is rarely necessary, but a light spray can be used for very sticky recipes.
- Fill each cavity about two-thirds full to allow room for the characteristic 'hump' to form.
Keeping It Going
- Hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended to preserve the life of the non-stick surface.
- Avoid using sharp knives or metal utensils directly in the mould to prevent scratches and damage.
- To store, either lay it flat or roll it up. Avoid folding it, as this can create permanent creases.
- The mould is stain-resistant, but rinsing promptly after use will keep it looking its best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to grease or flour this mould before use?
A: Thanks to its excellent non-stick properties, you generally do not need to grease the Elastomoule. The madeleines should release cleanly on their own.
Q: Is the DeBuyer DR485 madeleine mould dishwasher safe?
A: While it can be placed in the dishwasher, we strongly recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent to prolong the life and performance of the non-stick surface.
Q: Can I use this mould for frozen desserts?
A: Absolutely. It's safe for use in freezers down to -70°C, making it perfect for creating frozen madeleine-shaped treats or simply prepping batter in advance.
Q: What is the maximum oven temperature it can withstand?
A: The mould is heat-resistant up to +300°C, which is well above the required temperature for baking most cakes and pastries.
Q: As it's silicone, is it very flimsy?
A: It is flexible, which aids in de-moulding. However, it's a high-density, sturdy silicone foam. We always advise placing it on a solid baking tray for support when moving it.
Q: What are the dimensions of each individual madeleine?
A: Each of the 30 cavities holds a volume of 64ml, creating a generous 'mini' madeleine size that is perfect for cafés and afternoon tea.
Q: Can I use this mould for anything other than madeleines?
A: Of course! The classic shell shape is also wonderful for making chocolates, small jellies, or even savoury baked bites.
Q: What makes 'Elastomoule' different from regular silicone?
A: Elastomoule is De Buyer's unique, patented system. It's a high-quality silicone foam infused with metal powder, which provides far superior heat conduction compared to standard silicone for a more even bake.

Explore more from De BuyerHow De Buyer's Elastomoule Tech Guarantees a Perfect Bake
Ever wonder why some silicone moulds give you a soggy bottom while others produce a perfect, golden crust? The secret in this Elastomoule madeleine tray is the infusion of metal powder into the silicone foam. This isn't just a gimmick; it completely changes how the mould behaves in the oven.
Think of it like having tiny heat conductors spread evenly throughout the mould. Instead of just relying on the hot air of the oven, the metal powder absorbs and transmits heat directly and evenly to every surface of the madeleine batter. It's like giving each little cake its own personal, perfectly heated pan. This process ensures a beautifully uniform bake, excellent caramelisation, and that classic golden-brown finish, without the risk of burnt edges or undercooked centres that you get with lesser moulds.
