Product Information
Full details
The Pavoni Formaflex Cake Mould (9 Cup) is designed for professional pastry chefs and home bakers who require precision and ease when crafting delicate cakes or pastries. Its primary benefit is the 100% food-quality non-stick silicone construction, which ensures that intricate creations release perfectly every time without structural damage. A notable caveat for users is that the flexible nature of the silicone requires a flat baking tray or grid underneath for stable transport from the workstation to the oven.

Troubleshooting
Pastry sticking to the mould
Ensure the mould is completely clean and dry before use. If working with very low-fat batters, lightly brush with food-grade release spray.
Mould is difficult to transport when full
Always place the mould on a rigid 1/3 gastronorm tray or a flat baking sheet before adding batter.
Deformed cavities
Lay the mould flat on a tray and place in a warm oven for a few minutes to allow the silicone to regain its original memory and shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pavoni Formaflex mould, always place the silicone unit on a rigid, flat baking sheet or a stainless steel grid before filling. This prevents the silicone from sagging or spilling during transit to the oven. When cleaning, avoid using abrasive scrubbers or sharp knives which can puncture the surface. While the mould is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended to preserve the silicone's non-stick properties over time. Store the mould flat in a clean, dry area; avoid stacking heavy objects on top of it to prevent permanent deformation.
