Caramelized crust and soft center, in three diameters
Tinned copper canelé mold, chosen for the contrast that defines Bordeaux canelés: a caramelized, crisp crust around a soft center. Copper's high conductivity distributes heat quickly and evenly, caramelizing the sugars consistently without hot spots. The tinned interior ensures safe food contact and easy release.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Why choose copper for canelés?
Its conductivity distributes heat quickly and evenly, creating the thick, caramelized crust typical of Bordeaux canelés, which is difficult to achieve with a less conductive mold.
Should the mold be seasoned before use?
Yes. Seasoning with butter and wax before first use protects the tin coating and improves release from the very first batches.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Tinned copper must be washed by hand and dried immediately. Dishwashers and harsh products damage the tin coating and tarnish the copper.
