The Pâté en Croûte molds category includes molds specially designed for the production of home-made sweet or savory pâtés en croûte. These technical molds produce even, well-formed pies that are easy to unmold, whether they are intended for buffet presentation, bakery-caterer sales or gourmet dining. Thanks to their rigid structure and practical opening, they ensure even baking and clean unmolding, for a visual result that’s as neat as it is tasty.

Professional molds for perfect results
Designed to meet the requirements of the food trade and passionate cooks alike, Pâté en Croûte molds are made from sturdy, heat-conducting materials, generally stainless steel, tinplate or aluminum. They often come in rectangular, long or oval terrine shapes, and feature hinges or removable walls for rapid demolding, without the risk of breaking the crust.
Some models feature removable bottoms or perforations to allow steam to escape and ensure crisp cooking. They have been designed to withstand long cooking times, sometimes with rotating heat, without warping or leaking.

Choosing the right pie tin
Before you buy, consider these essential criteria:

Dimensions: according to desired volume (individual, family or buffet portions).

Opening: fixed or removable walls (hinges, clips, side opening).

Material: tinplate for perfect browning, stainless steel for durability and maintenance.

Compatibility: conventional oven, convection oven; some models are also freezer-safe.
