Full details
The Lékué Gourmet Cannele Bordelais Mould is an essential tool for home bakers looking to achieve professional-quality, restaurant-style cannelés without the frustration of sticking or crumbling. Crafted from high-grade platinum silicone, this 8-cavity tray offers exceptional non-stick performance and flexibility for a perfect release; however, because of the material's flexibility, it requires a flat baking sheet underneath for stable transport to and from the oven.

FAQs
Can I use this mould in a microwave?
Yes, the platinum silicone is microwave-safe, though it is primarily designed for oven use to achieve the necessary crust.
Is the silicone BPA-free?
Yes, Lékué uses high-quality food-grade platinum silicone that is free from harmful chemicals like BPA.
What is the maximum temperature this mould can handle?
The mould is heat-resistant up to high baking temperatures, typically up to 220°C (428°F).
Do I need to grease the mould every time?
Due to the non-stick nature of platinum silicone, you do not need to grease it every time, though a light coating can help after many uses.
How should I store the mould?
The mould is flexible and can be folded or rolled to save space, but it is best stored flat to ensure it maintains its shape over time.
Troubleshooting
Batter leaking during transport
Always place the silicone mould on a sturdy baking tray before filling the cavities to ensure stability.
Difficulty releasing the cakes
Ensure the cakes have cooled for at least 5-10 minutes; silicone needs a moment to set before the suction of the batter releases.
Mould retains a soap smell
Soak the mould in a solution of vinegar and water for 30 minutes, then wash and air dry to neutralize odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your mould for the first time, wash it in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. While the mould is naturally non-stick, a light spray of oil can be used for the first few bakes to condition the silicone. When placing in the oven, always ensure the mould rests on a solid surface, such as a metal baking tray, to prevent sagging during transport. After baking, allow the mould to cool before cleaning. It is dishwasher safe, but a quick rinse with warm water and a soft sponge is often sufficient. Avoid using sharp metal utensils, as these can cut or puncture the silicone surface.
