\n\u2018Loaf\u2019 Springform by L\u00e9ku\u00e9 is a culinary gem of common sense. A flexible silicone collar clips into place around a ceramic plate which is in fact the base of the loaf form. It\u2019s well sealed once assembled so no oozing around the join. There\u2019s little preparation before baking as the silicone is naturally non-stick, and washing up is simple with no worries of rust or peeling of non-stick coating.<\/p>\n
I made a New York Crumb Cake and was delighted with the results. Truly non-stick sides, and the presentation was crisp and clean. I served the cake on the ceramic base, without the anxiety of transferring the cake from tin to cooling rack and from there to the presentation plate. \u2018Loaf\u2019 Springform by L\u00e9ku\u00e9 will be welcomed by those of us who struggle with delicate mousses.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s approaching that time of year when we want to prepare festive dinners and smart party buffets. This gadget can be put to good use for both sweet and savoury centrepieces. I am considering buying an extra ceramic base so that I can perhaps make a savoury starter the day before and later a chocolate-chilli mousse using the same collar.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Loaf\u2019 Springform by L\u00e9ku\u00e9 is practical and will be a gift welcomed by any enthusiastic home cook. It\u2019s unique and I am already considering recipes that have previously been overlooked due to that chancy fiddle-factor of unmoulding.<\/p>\n
