The Copper Kettle Patisserie in Bath decided to upgrade its bakeware. Their old, rigid metal madeleine tins were causing significant product loss due to sticking and were a nightmare to clean during busy periods.
"The switch to this Pavoflex CF161 madeleine mould has been fantastic. Our morning prep is so much faster now. The madeleines just pop out cleanly, every single one, which means less waste and happier chefs. It’s made a noticeable difference to our workflow."
Robert Davies – Head Pastry Chef
Since switching, the patisserie has reduced its pastry wastage from breakages by nearly 90% and increased its madeleine output by 25% to meet customer demand.
Seeing a temperature range of -40°C to +280°C might seem like overkill, but it unlocks advanced techniques that separate good pastries from great ones. It’s not just about being oven-safe. This feature allows you to pipe your madeleine batter into the mould, place the entire tray in a blast freezer to set it solid, and then bake it directly from frozen. Think of it like pressing a 'pause' button for your batter. This 'freeze-to-bake' method prevents the batter from spreading too early, resulting in a much sharper, more defined shell shape and encouraging that signature 'hump' that signifies a perfect madeleine. It’s a simple trick that gives you ultimate control and flawless results.
Q: Do I need to grease or flour this non-stick madeleine baking mould?
A: No, you don't. The high-quality silicone is designed for a perfect, clean release without any grease. Just pour your batter straight in.
Q: Can I place the mould directly onto the oven rack?
A: It's not recommended. Because it's flexible, you should always place it on a solid baking sheet for stability before filling and baking.
Q: What is the best way to clean the mould?
A: It's fully dishwasher safe. Alternatively, you can wash it by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.
Q: Can I use this for things other than madeleines?
A: Absolutely! Its wide temperature range makes it great for setting jellies, chocolates, mini mousses, or even savoury baked bites.
Q: Will the silicone absorb smells or flavours from the food?
A: High-quality food-grade silicone like that used by Pavoflex is non-porous and designed to resist absorbing odours and flavours.
Q: How many madeleines does this commercial silicone madeleine tray make at once?
A: This mould has 20 cavities, so you can bake 20 madeleines in a single batch.
Q: Is this mould suitable for use in a commercial blast freezer?
A: Yes, it is rated to -40°C, making it perfectly safe and effective for use in commercial freezers and blast chillers.
Q: Will the mould lose its shape over time?
A: The Pavoflex CF161 is made from durable, professional-grade silicone designed to retain its shape through repeated use in a commercial environment.
