Lékué 8 Cavity Gourmet Cannele Bordelais Mould, Black, 0621108N01M022

I was happy to bake Canneles with this mould but found problem to wash in a dishwasher.Although the description says it's dishwasher safe, it washes but the shape behind stores a lot of water if you place facing down.I wish if there was a small hole or something so the water goes away.

Does what it’s supposed to do. I do grease with a tiny bit of butter, then when I flip it upside down after cooling, the canneles fall out. I get a nice dark brown finish (might be because of the butter?). I do tend to put it on a baking sheet as it’s a bit floppy.

If you haven't made canele, you haven't lived. I was wary of spending a tenner on a mould. We now have two so we can make more. If you want a good canele recipe, try goggling Michele Roux who wrote an article in Decanter magazine.

I have not used silicone before but these worked well. The only issue is their flexibility. The recipe usually requires you to have a heated tray in the oven. Therefore after filling the moulds and transferring them to the heated tray, their flexibility can cause spillage - you just need to be aware so that you hold them correctly.

A lovely mould to bake with. I have made caneles twice and they have turned out just perfectly. I didn't use the recipe included but I don't think that would change the great result. Impress your friends - keep baking.
