Silikomart recommends not using aggressive cleaners, brighteners or perfumers while washing moulds in the dishwasher. This may cause a white patina to surface on the mould, altering food’s flavours in subsequent cooking. However, the performance and safety of the moulds are not compromised; you will just need to place them in the oven (without any dough) for about one hour at a temperature of 200-220°C.
White or coloured spots may form on the mould’s surface if particular ingredients such as cocoa butter or tomato sauce are used; this is completely normal, performance and safety of the moulds are not compromised. To eliminate such stains, simply place them in the oven (without any dough) for about one hour at a temperature of 200-220°C.
How do I use my 3D Mould
- Pour the mixture into the mould.
- Put the preparation in the oven, fridge or freezer. The mould can be placed directly in the oven from the freezer.
- Release the product from the mould by slightly bending the mould and delicately prising the edges apart before turning over the mould. If the mixture has been heated, only remove it from the mould after it has completely cooled down
We recommend filling the mould to the brim with the mixture so that every angle and detail is covered. When the mould has been filled, slam it onto the work surface, in order to make any bubbles surface. Everything has been designed in order to obtain a smooth and well-defined product once released from the mould. We recommend releasing the preparations from the moulds when they are either completely frozen (when using a cold preparation) or have completely cooled down (when baking them).
Caring for your 3D Mould
What is the minimum & maximum temperature my 3D mould can stand?Â
Your 3D mould can be placed in the freezer to – 60°C & into the oven up to + 230°C
How should I wash my 3D mould?Â
The mould can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand (avoid aggressive detergents and abrasive sponges).
What material is my mould made of?Â
Your 3D mould is made in Italy with the highest-quality, food-grade platinum-cured silicone. The silicone used is tested in accordance with the Food Standards Agency (FDA) and conform with European Union (EU) standards so you can be confident the mould is safe for food use.
What if my 3D mould has an odd colour or mark appear?
This happens from time to time, in particular, if ingredients such as cocoa butter or tomato sauce are used. To eliminate these marks, simply place them in the oven (without any cooking ingredients) for one hour at a temperature of 200-220 ° C
Common sense
Sharp objects are not to be used with the mould as this may pierce/damage the mould.
