Mauviel M'Passion Copper Tinned Canele Mold, 2.2-in, Made in France

I just love to bake canele using this molds. The quality of the molds is good and feels heavy. My goal is to order 4 molds each month until I purchased 12 molds total. It is very expensive for a little mold ( 2"x2" )but your caneles is far better looking and taste better than using the silicon molds.

The product I purchased from you is fine - but the delivery time was way too slow and the what it was packaged was over the top, the product could have fitted into a 6" x 6" x 4" box instead it turned up in a 24" x 18" x 12" box with each on the 6 items packed in inner carton. Just one of the inner cartons would have done the job, at the end of the day you guys are charging me for international freight and it works on cubic. I also purchased the same item from another website site in the U.S and the shipment arrived in 4 days your parcel took over 2 weeks I think.

Good quality and caneles come out amazing. I use beeswax and butter to coat the molds. I used dishwasher to clean them and it did not ruin the molds. I also have mafter copper molds too (2nd picture, left mold) and both brands perform equally. I make caneles in silicone molds but they don't come out same texture as the ones baked in copper. And the copper DOES NOT dissapear. This is a natural way copper changes color. Is you clean it then it will get shiny again

I bought these years ago and only recently pulled them out to season them. Imagine my shock when the copper disappeared after the seasoning. The copper was microns thick, I could see the application strokes of the copper. I don't know if copper does this after seasoning, but for the cost (12 purchased) I'm very disappointed

I decided to try making canelés after enjoying my first-ever, last month at a French restaurant in NYC. I read up on several recipes, how-to's, etc., and the consensus was that the copper molds produced superior results (vs. aluminum, steel or silicone) and in particular when used with the butter-beeswax coating.I bought two molds to start out, since they are a little pricey. They arrived in 1 box from Amazon; I was surprised by their individual weight; each about 85-87 grams (~3oz) -- a hefty feel in the hand for how small they are. They appear to be spun copper (ie, a technique of solid-metal forming for symmetrically round objects like these) but that is just a hunch, based on the fine "brushed" horizontal texture on the outside. The inside of course is a shiny tinned layer.I "seasoned" mine according to the Mauviel website suggestions (Crisco method in the oven) before first use. I made a batch of batter (which makes about 18 canelés) and set out to bake them, 2 at a time, over a weekend, starting Saturday afternoon. (A slow process since each time the filled molds go into the oven it is an hour of baking!) Each time, I coated the interior with the butter-wax mix first. (I found it far easier to pour the melted liquid into the mold, carefully "roll it around" to evenly coat up to the rim, then quickly dump the excess liquid back into the pan -- I gave up on using a brush entirely!)By the time I baked my final pair on Sunday afternoon, they were coming out beautifully. (I used each new pair as a means to test out various tips/tricks that differed from the many recipes I'd read before hand; subtle differences in oven temperature, how full to fill the mold, chilling the batter, chilling the molds, etc.)In the end, I had the best success when I chilled the butter/wax-lined molds first (~20 minutes) AND used chilled batter that had first been refrigerated overnight, and I filled the molds to about 1cm from the top, and I let the finished canelé cool on a rack, in the molds, 5 minutes before unmolding.The final results were so good, I ordered 2 more molds so I could "double my output per hour" the next time I make them! (Oddly, the 2 additional molds were shipped 1 per box instead of together.)After my 8 or 9 rounds of baking in the molds that weekend, the outside (copper surface) is significantly darker/duller than when they arrived shiny new; I don't think I'll get obsessive enough to polish them back to bright copper, but just FYI!

Very good product, they should be for $20 a pop.weird thing though: I ordered 6 of them, they came individually boxed in 8x8x8" boxes.(these things are about 2"x3") then all those boxes were packed into one huge box. I appreciate the care taken to assure they arrived safely, but the packaging was excessive.then after all that, they put a bar code sticker ON the pan itself. i had to remove the residue with goo-gone, which tarnished the copper a bit. It's only cosmetic and on the outside, so i know it's not a big deal. But they're $20 each, it's too bad to lose that brand new look before I even use them.
