De Buyer Canele Mould / 5.5cm Pack of 4

Individual moulds for making canelés, the little cakes from Bordeaux with caramelised edges and custard-like centres. Made of heat-retaining iron with inner non-stick coating. —DETAILS— Culinary professionals know they can trust De Buyer to make hard-wearing, reliable kitchenware. Established in 1830, the French metal manufacturer has made pots, pans and baking equipment from a variety of materials, from copper to iron to steel, all with global success. These iron canelé moulds heat quickly and powerfully, which is the key to getting dark amber edges while the inside retains a custard-like consistency. Note: The small hole in the mould is just used in the manufacturing process (to hang the moulds as the coating is applied), and does not have any impact on the use of the mould by the home baker. For optimal results, lightly grease the insides of the moulds prior to baking. —BENEFITS— ‘It’s also a great mould for individual portions of cakes or set puddings, like jelly or panna cotta.’
