If you are fond of cooking, then, of course, you have a lot of kitchen equipment, which helps to prepare tasty and healthy dishes. Among such "assistants" it is necessary to call demountable forms for baking. They are designed for more convenient extraction of the finished product.
In stores today there is a huge selection of all sorts of detachable forms. How to choose the right form that you need? Let's find out!
What are the separable forms for baking cakes?
The main difference between split forms is the ability to disassemble it into two components. Such forms are very convenient for feeding some dishes to the table - the product does not need to be taken out of the mold first and then transferred to another dish: it is enough to simply remove the sides, and the pie, cake or casserole remains on the bottom. Due to this, the surface of the dish does not break and does not crack, which is quite possible with careless removal from the usual high form.
As a rule, a detachable baking dish looks like this: there is a lock on the side part, which needs to be opened, and then the product can easily be disconnected into two parts - side and bottom. The only nuance here - before opening the form, it is desirable to carefully separate the cake from the walls of the dishes using a wooden or silicone scapula, so as not to damage the integrity of the dish. When buying such a split form, do not worry that it will open during cooking - this is excluded due to the special design of the lock.
Molded forms are usually made of aluminum or carbon steel with non-stick coating. Therefore, they have certain operating rules: for example, they can not be used for a microwave oven, gas, electric or other cooker, but only for an oven. In addition, wash the coated forms without the use of hard wool or abrasive cleaners.
There are uses of detachable forms and their secrets. So, many complain that the mold is leaking if you pour liquid batter into it. This can be avoided if the bottom is pre-laid with parchment or special paper for baking.
As for varieties of split baking forms, they are as follows:
- Round - the most popular form, as traditionally cakes and biscuits are baked round.
- Square or rectangular - usually such a split form for baking has rounded corners.
- Performed in the shape of the heart and other shapes. They can be used not only for baking, but also for giving a special form to salads, multilayer jellies, etc.
- High - for Easter cakes.
- Long - for baking bread. Many housewives today prefer to bake home-made bread, ordinary or with additives. But to get it out of the usual one-piece capacity due to its large weight and characteristic bread shape is not very convenient. Keep in mind that by buying this form, you can cook in it and other types of baking, not just bread.
- Forms with several bottoms - in addition to the usual flat surface of the bottom, a bottom with an opening can also be included in the kit. This container is usually used for baking cupcakes.
- The usual round shape is often equipped with a convenient plastic or silicone lid. She can cover the baking in the oven, if it has already blushed from above, but still damp inside.
- Forms come in different sizes. The most popular among housewives is a demountable baking dish with a diameter of 18, 24 and 30 cm.
- Also you can purchase a whole set of split baking molds, different in shape or diameter. It can be an excellent option for a birthday present, a wedding, March 8 or New Year's Eve.
