Cash on delivery (only for deliveries in Italy and only cash payments are accepted).

SILIKOMART MOULDS

What are the advantages of a Silikomart silicone mould? The Silikomart mould is made in Italy with the highest-quality, food-grade platinum-cured silicone. It is extremely versatile and withstands temperatures ranging from -60°C to + 230°C. For more information, visit the following page: https://professional.silikomart.com/eng/silicone-advantages

Where are the Silikomart moulds produced? The Silikomart silicone moulds are designed, produced and packaged in our factories located in the province of Venice.

Can the silicone moulds be used in both ovens and fridges? All the silicone moulds (regardless of colour) can be used in both ovens and freezers. The moulds can be placed directly in the oven from the freezer. They can also be used in microwaves but cannot be used with the CRISP function. For more information, visit our page dedicated to the advantages of the Silikomart silicone mould.

What are the minimum and maximum temperatures that the Silikomart silicone can withstand? The Silikomart platinum-cured silicone withstands a range of temperatures: from -60°C to +230°C (-76°F to +446°F).

Are the plastic components in the Silikomart kits oven-safe? No, plastic components should only be used for cold preparations. The micro-perforated rings for tarts are an exception as they can withstand temperatures up to 180°C.

What material are the chocolate moulds made of? What temperatures are they suitable for? The chocolate moulds are made of PETG and can be used for preparations that do not exceed 55°C; it is for this reason that they cannot be used in the oven.

How should I clean the moulds? The moulds can be washed in the dishwasher (rinse aid is not recommended) or by hand (avoid using aggressive cleaners and abrasive sponges).

What is the “Safe Ring” used for? Can it go in the oven and/or freezer? The “Safe Ring” support ring (if included) improves the stability and manoeuvrability of the shape. It can be used in both ovens and freezers.

Should I grease the mould? We recommend only slightly greasing the mould the first time you use it.

Where can I find recipes for the moulds? A recipe for the mould is provided inside each pack. For more recipes and suggestions, visit our blog (https://shapethetaste.silikomart.com/blog/professionisti) and follow us on social media.

Are the white moulds of a higher quality than the other moulds?
No. All Silikomart silicone moulds are made of premium-quality platinum-cured silicone. The colour does not affect the quality of the product in any way.

What is the difference between the “Silikomart” range moulds and the “Silikomart Professional” range moulds?
There is no difference. Both ranges are produced using the same materials that comply with the high-quality standards both as an end result and in terms of long-term performance. The differences between the two ranges lie exclusively in their packaging and market distribution.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

How are the Silikomart silicone moulds used?
- 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.
- Wash the mould in a dishwasher or under a jet of water.

Tricks for better aesthetics
- 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, we advice slamming 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 advise only releasing the preparations from the moulds when they are completely frozen (when using cold preparations) or have completely cooled down (when baking them).

PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

What are the precautions for using the Silikomart silicone moulds?

We recommend completely inserting the SAFE RING into the mould when the mixture is to be heated (if supplied with the model); make sure that the mould is bone dry when using it in a microwave oven.
Do not place the mould on direct sources of heat (electric plates, open flames, grills, glass-ceramic hobs, etc.).
Do not use knives or sharp objects directly on the mould.
Do not clean with aggressive cleaners (the solution pH must be between 5 and 10) or abrasive sponges.
The use of liquid rinse aid and/or fresheners is not recommended when washing the mould in the dishwasher. To quickly dry the moulds, we recommend placing them in an oven pre-heated to 100°C for 10 minutes.
Do not use the mould with the microwave’s CRISP function.

*The Safe Ring is a support to be inserted into the mould to ensure greater stability and manoeuvrability; it is an exclusive Silikomart-patented product. It is made of a special glass fibre that, just like silicone, withstands temperatures between -60°C and +230°C (-76°F to +446°F). All Silikomart products comply with FDA and CE regulations.
