What are the dimensions of the individual heart cavities?
The total product dimensions are 175 mm x 300 mm x 34 mm, which fits 8 cavities comfortably on the rectangular sheet.
Troubleshooting
Baked goods sticking to the mould
Ensure the mould is clean and dry. For very delicate recipes, lightly grease the inside with a small amount of oil or butter before adding the batter.
Mould becomes difficult to clean
Soak the mould in warm, soapy water to soften any stuck residue. Do not use abrasive scrubbers as these can degrade the silicone surface.
Mould feels unstable when filled with liquid batter
Always place the mould on a flat, rigid baking tray before filling it to provide support during transportation to the oven.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, wash the mould in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. While the material is flexible, do not use sharp knives or metal utensils inside the cavities as they can puncture the silicone. When baking, ensure the oven temperature does not exceed 220 °C. For care, this mould is not dishwasher safe; always hand wash with mild detergent and a soft sponge to preserve the surface finish. For storage, the mould is lightweight and can be stacked or folded without losing its shape, making it ideal for compact kitchens.
