Perforated tartlet mats
There are 14 products.
Perforated tartlet mats have cavities in the shape of a tartlet. The shortcrust is placed inside and baked; thanks to the fine perforation it turns crisp and even, and the edges do not slump. In this category you will find silicone mats with round cavities from Ø 4 to 15 cm and square cavities from 4.5 to 12 cm, ideal for tartlets, bases for petits gâteaux and canapés. They are joined by the micro-perforated AirPlus 19 Square mould, a perforated pizza tray with Ø 28 cm and a perforated bread roll tray with non-stick coating.
Tips for tartlets, choux and pastry cups
- Roll the pastry thinly and cut it with a cutter of the right size, then place it in the cavities.
- Turn the mat over: laying the pastry over the domes of the upturned mat gives you crisp pastry cups for sweet or savoury fillings.
- Pipe choux directly: with a 10 mm round tip, pipe even mounds into the round cavities so every choux bun is the same size.
- Use a perforated tray: the mats work on a normal baking tray, but the best results come from a perforated tray, as heat reaches the base well.
Pro tip: brush the cooled bases thinly with tempered chocolate so the filling does not make the pastry soggy.
Frequently asked questions about perforated tartlet mats
Which cavity size is best for what?
The small Ø 4 or 4.8 cm cavities are designed for mini tartlets, amuse-bouches and petits fours. Ø 6.5 cm is the classic tartlet size, Ø 10 cm suits dessert tartlets. The Ø 15 cm cavities are big enough for family-size tarts or entremets for three to four people.
Do I need baking paper or grease?
No. The non-stick surface of the silicone mats needs neither baking paper nor greasing; the pastries release cleanly after baking. The perforated pizza tray and bread roll tray are different: grease them lightly with oil or release spray before baking.
