How to use a tart mould?

The process of using the tart mould, which is the first step in tart making, has a great influence on the final appearance and taste of your tart. The choice of tart mould varies according to the type of tart to be made. If you want to make a fruit tart, a metal tart mould with a thin bottom can be preferred for a crispy bottom. In addition, when making a chocolate or cream tart, high-sided moulds can be used to maintain the shape of the tart.

Before using the mould, you need to grease your mould so that your tart dough does not stick to the mould and can be easily removed. We generally recommend using vegetable oil for greasing and you should take care to spread the oil evenly all over the mould. You can do the lubrication process with the help of a brush or you can use spray oils. After placing the dough in the mould, it is important to smooth the surface so that there are no air bubbles.

After spreading your dough into the mould, you can fill it with the ingredients of your choice. When adding the ingredients, care should be taken to spread them evenly outwards, starting from the centre of the tart. A good harmony of the ingredients with the tart dough helps the dough to rise evenly during baking. At this stage, you can also add extra ingredients such as various spices, hazelnuts or walnuts to add originality to your tart.

Before baking in the preheated oven, you can lightly brush the tart with egg yolk using a brush. This will make your tart shinier on top and crisper on the bottom. The oven temperature and baking time vary depending on the type and thickness of the tart. Generally, 20-30 minutes at 180°C will be sufficient. After removing your tart from the oven, you should leave it for a few minutes to cool down and then you can serve it.

For your tart to be delicious and visually appealing, the freshness and quality of the ingredients you will use are important. Also, make sure that the temperature settings of your oven are correct. A well-adjusted oven ensures that your tart cooks evenly and helps you achieve perfect results. Finally, for a perfect tart, you should make sure that all the steps are done with care and attention.

What are tart moulds made of?

IKEA tart moulds are made from a variety of materials and are designed to meet all your baking needs. The most popular materials are high-quality silicone tart moulds, durable metal and heat-conducting castings. Silicone material allows the tarts to be easily separated from the mould with its flexible structure, while metal tart moulds distribute the heat quickly and evenly, allowing the tarts to have a more toasted and crispier base. Cast moulds, on the other hand, are known for their ability to maintain the temperature for a long time, which stabilises the baking process.

The inner surfaces of the moulds are usually coated with a non-stick surface. This coating allows the tart to be easily removed from the mould after baking and makes cleaning easier. Non-stick surfaces allow healthy cooking with a small amount of oil. All models, including cast tart moulds, are manufactured using materials that comply with health and safety standards. These moulds have safe coatings that do not contain heavy metals and can come into contact with food.

Tart moulds, which are aesthetically appealing as well as their baking properties, create elegance in your kitchen. They are designed in colours and shapes to suit modern and classic kitchens. Colourful silicone tart moulds enliven your kitchen decoration, while metal and cast iron tart moulds offer a more professional look. Each material and model has been carefully selected to meet the different needs and tastes of users.

Art moulds made of quality materials promise long-lasting use. Heat-resistant, scratch-resistant and rust-proof, these moulds are designed for intensive use. IKEA also attaches great importance to the environmental friendliness of all materials used. Every model produced is manufactured with the principle of sustainability in mind and with minimal damage to the environment. This approach is an important detail that reflects our commitment to minimising negative impacts on the environment and conserving natural resources.

How to use silicone tart moulds?

Silicone tart moulds are among the modern kitchen utensils that provide great comfort to the user. The most important feature of these moulds is that your tart can be easily removed from the mould thanks to the flexibility of the material. Before using silicone tart moulds, it is sufficient to apply a small amount of oil into the mould, so you can easily remove your tart from the mould after baking without any damage. Since silicone is a highly heat-resistant material, you can safely use it in various cooking methods.

Silicone tart moulds, which maintain their form even at high temperatures, can be used effectively between -40°C and +230°C. While these moulds can be used in different types of ovens, it is also possible to use them in microwave ovens, which makes them very functional in the kitchen. The silicone material minimises the transfer of flavours and odours, which prevents flavours from mixing when used in various recipes.

Another important advantage is that silicone is easy to clean. You can wash the tart mould in the dishwasher or clean it by hand. When hand washing, it is recommended to use a soft sponge and non-abrasive detergents. This will prevent scratches and wear and tear on the surface of your mould, ensuring many years of use.

The multifunctional use of these moulds offers a wide range of uses, from cold desserts to hot cakes. They are therefore also ideal for cold desserts such as jelly or puddings. The flexible nature of silicone allows you to make complex shaped tarts and cakes, while the various sizes and shapes of such moulds mean you can make perfect desserts for any special occasion.

Points to consider when buying a tart tin

The material, size and shape of the mould play an important role in your purchase decision. You should consider what kind of recipes you will use it for and how many people the tarts will serve. You can choose the one that best suits your needs by comparing it with other cookware such as tins and moulds. Checking whether the surface of the mould is non-stick will make the baking process easier and help you achieve more successful flavours as a result.

It is also important to think about your baking frequency and the environments in which you plan to use the tarts. If you plan to make tarts frequently, a tart tin made of highly durable and easy-to-clean materials may be ideal. If you plan to make tarts for special occasions or for larger groups, a tart tin with larger dimensions or multiple compartments may be more suitable. Another important factor in mould selection is the thermal properties of the mould. Materials with high heat conductivity, such as cast iron tart moulds, distribute the heat evenly so that every part of your tart cooks at the same time. This is especially important for recipes that require delicate flavours and consistencies.

However, if you like to try innovative methods in the kitchen, you can use a silicone tart mould. Silicone makes it extremely easy to unmould your tart due to its flexible structure. This material is also practical to clean, as it is usually dishwasher safe. It is important to check that the edge heights of the mould are compatible with your recipe so that you do not encounter pouring and overflow problems. Tartolet moulds with low sides can be suitable for open tarts and tartlets, while moulds with higher sides can give better results for filled tarts.

How to clean a tart tin mould?

Cleaning tart moulds is an important step to prolong the life of your kitchen utensils and ensure maximum performance after each use. Firstly, cleaning methods may vary depending on the material used. Generally, gentle cleaning methods are recommended for any type of material used, whether it is a tart tin, silicone tart mould or cast tart mould.

Allow your tart tin to cool completely before starting the cleaning process. Cleaning when it is hot can damage the mould and there is a risk of burns during cleaning. To remove any residue from the mould after it has cooled down, gently twist the mould to loosen all residue. This method is particularly suitable for silicone tart moulds. For cast or metal moulds, you can tap the mould gently to help the residue inside to fall out.

Using a soft sponge or microfibre cloth, gently wipe the mould from the inside out with warm water and mild dish soap. Abrasives can scratch metal or casting moulds and cause rust over time. For silicone moulds, abrasives can destroy the structure of the material and cause it to lose its flexibility. After cleaning, rinse the mould with water and let it dry completely in an airy place.

Before storing your mould, make sure it is dry. Moisture can cause rust in metal tart moulds. Silicone and cast moulds can be prone to mould and bacteria growth in humid environments. Therefore, it is best to store the moulds in a dry, cool and dark place. This will prolong the life of the moulds and ensure you get the best results every time you use them.

Regular maintenance and proper cleaning techniques are essential to ensure that your tart moulds last long and give good results every time you use them. Remember, well-maintained kitchen utensils are a guarantee of delicious meals and desserts.

How to grease a tart tin?

Greasing prevents your tart dough from sticking to the mould and helps your tart to be removed more easily. You can use vegetable oil or food sprays for lubrication. In tart mould models with non-stick surfaces, applying the oil evenly ensures that the tart is baked more evenly and can be easily removed from the mould. In addition to vegetable oils, alternatives such as butter or margarine can also be used to grease tart moulds. These make it easier to spread the oil and improve the flavour of the dough.

Another important point to be aware of during the greasing process is to apply the oil evenly all over the mould. This is important when considering details such as corners and patterned surfaces for pie dishes. If not enough oil is applied, the dough may stick to the mould in these areas and the shape of your tart may be distorted. Too much oil can cause the tart to have a greasy and heavy texture, so it is important to adjust the amount of oil in a balanced way.

Another alternative designed for modern kitchens are cooking sprays. These sprays allow you to quickly and evenly distribute the oil in the mould. If you are using a large or intricately patterned tart cake tin, using such sprays saves time and ensures that your batter is evenly spread in the mould. 

Our selection of both metal and silicone tart moulds are characterised by excellent baking results and easy handling. Silicone tart tins make the greasing process even more practical thanks to their flexible structure, while metal tart tins distribute the heat evenly, ensuring that the top of your tart is crispy and the bottom is evenly baked. IKEA is always with you in your search for quality and style in your kitchen utensils. You can make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable and productive with our tart moulds in various sizes and shapes.
