Cake Pans
Fluffy cakes, fresh tarts or succulent strudels can never be missing at the end of any lunch or dinner, especially on special occasions: with our cake pans you can satisfy all guests, even the most discerning palates.
A wide variety of shapes and sizes of cake pans can be found on the market, typically made of aluminium and heat-resistant, designed to give a specific shape and size to the finished cake. They can be used to create different types of cakes, such as layer cakes, brownies and plum cakes. Some cake pans have a non-stick surface to make it easier to remove the cake from the pan after baking, a removable bottom and a latch on the side that allows the cake to be easily removed from the pan.
FEATURES OF CAKE PANS
The cake pans come in so many shapes and sizes, which is why they fit the needs of any experienced pastry chef or cake enthusiast.
The main features to evaluate before buying a cake pan are:
- Heat Resistance. Heat resistance is an indispensable feature for a cake pan since it must withstand high temperatures and for extended periods of time.
- Shape and size. Depending on the type of cake and the number of guests you will be able to choose the size and shape of the cake pan: the choice varies from the classic tart mold to cake pans with removable bottoms and sides.
- The type of material. Cake pans can be made of aluminum, silicone, glass, ceramic or terracotta: those made of aluminum are definitely among the most versatile and resistant.
The perfect cake pan distributes heat evenly, prevents the cake from sticking and allows it to rise properly when needed. The size of the cake pan is also important, as using the wrong size can ruin even the best recipe. Wide-bottomed cake pans are used to make it easier to remove the cake from the pan after baking, while springform pans are ideal for cheesecakes, ice cream cakes and any layered dish that cannot be easily unmoulded. The most commonly used material for cake pans is aluminium: it is affordable, durable and easy to use, as well as being very hygienic and easy to clean.
The aluminum cake pansallow effective regulation of the temperatureat the various stages of baking the cake: the distribution of heat is uniform both on the bottom and on the walls, reducing the risk of overheating and burning. This detail is also very important from an energy-saving point of view, since it will affect the timing and mode of baking.
TART MOLDS AND CAKE PANS
Every cake has its own shape, and the tart is usually characterised by its crispy scalloped edge. The tart pan is created specifically for this type of dessert: it is usually non-stick, the bottom can be fixed or removable, and it has a variable diameter depending on the size you want to give the dessert. The pan with a removable bottom is very useful for removing the tart from the mould without having to turn it upside down: this type of mould is perfect for tarts with fruit toppings, since turning it over risks ruining or breaking the tart. For tarts or desserts that involve a filling, there is the smart mould: the shape is similar to a tart mould, but the difference is in the bottom, which has a "step" that creates a hollow on the surface suitable for accommodating any type of filling and topping. You can also make a smart mould at home: just take a classic tart mould and place a flat plate inside with the concave part facing up, line everything with baking paper and you're done. With this trick you can create many different types of tarts with just one pan.
SPRINGFORM CAKE PAN AND CLASSIC CAKE PAN
The main difference between a springform pan and a regular pan is that the springform pan has a removable bottom and sides held together by an interlocking strip that can be opened and removed, whereas a regular pan does not. Using springform pans makes it easier to remove delicate dishes such as cheesecakes or cakes with loose toppings from the pan.
A regular cake pan, on the other hand, does not have a removable bottom and sides and is designed to give a specific shape and size to the finished cake. Regular cake pans can be used to create different types of cakes that can be turned out without being damaged.
