Getting the bowl out of the mold

Getting the bowl out of the mold - A Person Holding a Toasted Bread

This is the "Cook's Choice, Better Baker Edible Bowl Maker" which I received as a gift.

Now the idea appears clever enough, but everything I try to do with it either comes out too hard to be enjoyable (not 'Good Eats') or it comes out like this: (the finished product won't come out in one usable piece.

enter image description here

I've greased/floured the bowls, I've allowed the product to cool thoroughly...

What techniques or recipe adjustments will help me get a usable cake out of the mold? (note: I would also like to be able to use this for breads, but I'll settle for getting a usable cake out of the mold for now...)

[Follow-up]: With thanks to all who contributed..

So I found some Pam Baking spray (yea, right next to the stuff I always get, just hadn't noticed it before...) and tried releasing the cakes before they were fully cooled: Add a shot of rum, some pecans and caramel...mmmm.

Best Answer

Search for recipes for 'cake release', which is typically a mixture of equal parts solid shortening, flour and oil. You can then paint it on with a pastry brush.

You also don't always want items to cool fully before removing from the pan; you might need to warm the pan back up some for the item to release.

How do you make a bowl out of molds?

Scrape or brush off excess dry or wet clay with a plastic paint scraper or soft bristle brush. Spray area with water and continue to wipe clean with paper towels. If stain or white residue remains, repeat procedure.

Answer 2

While it is not traditional, I have had excellent success with cakes, breads, and muffins by liberally spraying with spray oil. I use my store brand's grapeseed oil, but any will do. I use the kind without additional flour.

An additional advantage is it is very easy to do individual cups or molds with the spray.

I usually do my spraying over the sink to save mess on any overspray. A tip I have read is to do it over the open door of your dishwasher for the same reason.

Answer 3

Your pans look like they're "non-stick". Did the pans come with any directions on whether they need to be greased (probably different instructions for cakes and breads) or "seasoned" first?

  1. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding greasing or prepping the pan
  2. I would do is what is recommended on many US cake product packaging: cool the pan for 10 minutes
  3. Use a pointy knife to carefully ease any sticky parts of the cake from the pan. It's not a cutting motion (you don't want to scratch the pan), but rather a gently finessed motion around the inner edge of the individual cups
  4. When you can gently wiggle the top of the cup (the part that is sticking up from the pan, GENTLY try to lift the cake. If you feel resistance, repeat the knife routine
