Friends of Erre4M, welcome back to our blog! Today we will carry on talking about kitchen tools and, more specifically, about perforated rings for shortcrust pastry.
They are tools that are enjoying ever greater success in the world of pastry making; they are made of micro-perforated stainless steel, come in various shapes and are designed to produce perfectly crumbly pastries.
Their diameters range from 6–7 cm and their height from 2–5 cm.
Once you have prepared your shortcrust pastry, all you need to do is cut it to the size of the mould, butter its edges and bake it in a fan oven at 165 °C. Thanks to the holes in the mould, baking is more even, it prevents the edges of the tart from collapsing and it also promotes the evaporation of the water, so that the hot air of the oven reaches the whole product.
Great, friends — that's all for today from our blog. Now you too can start using these tools in your own kitchen!
