Pavoni

Pavoni molds: professional silicone for chef-level pastry

Pavoni Italia is a global reference for professional silicone molds for pastry. An Italian brand founded in 1983, Pavoni has become essential in starred pastry labs thanks to collaborations with top international chefs: Antonio Bachour, Emmanuele Forcone, Gianluca Fusto and many others. The result: contemporary design molds, perfectly calibrated formats for individual plating, and silicone quality that withstands −40°C to +250°C, from direct freezer to oven.

Find the full Pavoni ranges at Patissland: Pavoflex, Top Range, Tart Project (Progetto Crostate), log molds, entremet molds, trompe-l'œil molds and accessories (micro-perforated strips, stainless steel supports). To explore our wider selection of molds, see our silicone molds and our entremet molds.

Why choose Pavoni molds

Pavoni stands out from most silicone mold brands with a resolutely professional positioning, validated by pastry chefs worldwide.

  • High-quality food-grade silicone: BPA-free, compliant with European food contact standards, perfectly neutral in taste and odor.
  • Exceptional thermal range: from −40°C (freezer, thermal shock) to +250°C (oven), allowing direct transfer from freezer to oven without breakage or deformation.
  • Perfect release: ultra-smooth interior finish that reproduces all design details without sticking, even on the most complex shapes.
  • Designs signed by renowned chefs: Antonio Bachour for Pavoflex, Emmanuele Forcone for cake and log molds, Gianluca Fusto for the Tart Project. Each collection is designed for precise professional use.
  • Precise calibration: exact volumes, consistent dimensions across references (ideal for stackable molds or assembled desserts).
  • Durability: designed for intensive use in the lab, Pavoni molds last for years with minimal maintenance.

Which use to choose a Pavoni mold for

Pavoni silicone is versatile but excels in certain uses. Some guidelines to help you choose.

  • Entremets and bavarois: Pavoflex and Top Range molds are perfect for mousses, bavarois, and frozen desserts that unmold cleanly. See also our entremets molds section.
  • Mini cakes and individual desserts: Bachour and Forcone molds deliver that sought-after "boutique pastry" finish.
  • Modern tarts: Fusto’s Tart Project with its micro-perforated strips revolutionizes the baking of shortcrust tart bases. Guaranteed crispness, even baking, clean unmolding.
  • Christmas logs: Pavoni log molds meet the professional standards of chocolatiers and festive pastry chefs.
  • Conventional oven baking: ideal for cake bases, financiers, madeleines, cannelés, and any preparation baked through.
  • Freezing and transport: the molds withstand thermal shocks, you can go directly from the freezer to the oven or unmold cold.

For suitable recipes, get inspired by our passion bavarois or our strawberry tart.

Usage and care tips
  1. First use: wash the mold with warm soapy water, rinse and dry before first use. No greasing needed for most items (Pavoni silicone is naturally non-stick).
  2. For fatty or very sweet preparations: a light greasing with a greasing spray can further ease unmolding during the first uses.
  3. Oven baking: always place the Pavoni mold on a rigid perforated tray before baking; silicone alone is too flexible for oven transfer.
  4. Freezing: fill, freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours. Unmold while still frozen to preserve the precision of the contours.
  5. Cleaning: hand wash with warm soapy water or dishwasher (top rack, regular cycle). Avoid abrasive sponges that scratch the surface.
  6. Storage: flat, protected from dust and direct light. Pavoni molds can be stacked safely without damaging the shapes.
  7. Durability: with careful use, a Pavoni mold lasts several years without losing its non-stick qualities.

For finishing and decoration, complete your equipment with our spatulas, piping bags, and velvet sprays for a professional flocked effect.

FAQ – Pavoni Molds
What sets Pavoni apart from other silicone mold brands?

Three main elements: the quality of the silicone (wide thermal resistance from −40°C to +250°C, smooth finish), designs signed by international chefs (Antonio Bachour, Emmanuele Forcone, Gianluca Fusto), and precise calibration (exact volumes, perfect unmolding). It is the reference brand in professional pastry laboratories.

Are Pavoni molds oven and freezer safe?

Yes, it is one of their great strengths. Pavoni silicone withstands −40°C to +250°C, allowing you to freeze a preparation and then put it directly in the oven, or vice versa, bake then cool in the freezer. The material does not deform or crack from thermal shock.

Should a Pavoni mold be greased before use?

For the vast majority of preparations, no greasing is necessary: Pavoni silicone is naturally non-stick. For very greasy or sweet doughs (very sticky cookies, caramels), a light spray of grease helps with unmolding during the first uses. Over time, the mold "develops a patina" and unmolding becomes even easier.

How to clean a Pavoni mold?

Hand wash with warm soapy water, or in the dishwasher on the top rack (normal cycle). Avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the inner surface. Dry flat. For stubborn stains or persistent odors, soak in warm water with baking soda.

Is a tray needed under the Pavoni mold in the oven?

Yes, always. Silicone is too flexible to be handled alone when filled with batter. Always place the Pavoni mold on a rigid tray (ideally perforated for Tart Project tarts) before putting it in the oven. The tray also serves as support for safe transfer.

What is the Pavoni Tart Project?

The Tart Project (or Progetto Crostate) is the Pavoni line signed by chef Gianluca Fusto, dedicated to tarts and tartlets. Its specialty: micro-perforated stainless steel strips that are placed on perforated silicone mats, allowing perfectly even baking of the tart base with unmatched crispiness. It has become a standard in modern pastry.

Are Pavoni molds suitable for beginners?

Yes, even though the brand is positioned for professionals, Pavoni molds are perfect for advanced amateur pastry chefs who want to improve quality. The Pavoflex range in particular is very accessible. To get started, choose a simple entremets mold or a log mold, which cover a wide variety of recipes.

Are Pavoni molds BPA-free?

Yes, all Pavoni silicone molds are made from food-grade silicone without BPA, compliant with European food contact standards. Health safety is a non-negotiable standard for the brand, which mainly equips professional laboratories subject to strict controls.
