Tart and tartlet pans
Tart pans with removable bases, silicone tartlet kits and micro-perforated rings for tart shells that bake evenly and release cleanly.
Tart pans with removable bases
A removable base lets you release a delicate tart (shortcrust pastry, filled base) without turning it over: simply push the base up through the ring. Models with tall sides are suitable for generously filled tarts or mixtures that rise during baking.
Silicone tartlet kits and micro-perforated rings
Silicone kits (6 to 15 cavities) shape uniform tartlets in a single bake. Micro-perforated rings allow air and heat to circulate, preventing the pastry from becoming soggy in the center.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose a micro-perforated ring instead of a solid pan?
The micro-perforations allow heat to circulate beneath the pastry, helping prevent a soggy base and ensuring more even baking than a solid pan.
How can I keep pastry from shrinking during baking?
Chilling the pastry before baking and blind baking it with weights (baking beans or dried beans) help prevent it from shrinking.
Silicone or stainless steel for making uniform tartlets in batches?
A silicone multi-cavity kit ensures every tartlet in the batch has the same shape; an individual stainless steel mold is suitable for one larger tart.
