How molds can simplify your life, and which frozen desserts to make, we explain everything in this article!

The advantages of PETIT professional ice cream molds

PETIT ice cream molds are distinguished by several technical characteristics that make them essential for ice cream makers and pastry chefs:

1. Ease of use

PETIT molds allow for quick and precise assembly of desserts and iced logs. Simply remove the mold from its food bag and place it on your work surface (no need to wash it beforehand or prepare the mold): you can proceed directly to assembling your preparations: mousses, crunchy pastries, inserts, biscuits or meringues. This saves you time right from the production phase, which is useful during periods of high production such as summer or the end-of-year holidays.

2. Perfect demolding

The plastic material of the PETIT molds ensures easy demolding , even for complex or delicate preparations such as ice creams and parfaits. Some molds with ears are even tearable: so there is no risk of damaging your creation, the mold tears and guarantees an impeccable presentation, without altering the shape or texture of the dessert.

3. Impeccable cold-weather performance

Whether for quick freezing or for extended storage, PETIT molds ensure perfect hold of frozen desserts . This stability is essential for maintaining precise shapes and consistent textures, even after several days in the freezer. Once your desserts have been frozen, we recommend turning them upside down and stacking your molds: this prevents frost from forming on the surface.
