This turned out to be one of my favourite new purchases! It does exactly what it's supposed to, but even more efficiently, and with such ease due to the silicone. I love the shape, might not go back to rounds :) and the plate it comes with is great to serve in and more elegant than metal ones.
I have used a LOT of pans and this is by far the best I've used. I would highly recommend it, and at this price point, you should pick up several. The quality was supreme!

Terrible product. Silicone disintegrates from exposure to heat within specified range!
Much as I'd love to be able to give this product a good rating, both because it's a great idea and also in view of my support of Catalonia in its righteous quest for independence (I know this is besides the point, but still), the product frankly failed outright under normal use in less than a year.I am an avid baker and used these molds just about weekly, in fact sometimes multiple times per week, over the last year. The concept greatly appealed to me: the ceramic bases give your bread or pastry heat from below to help with oven spring, while the silicone sides are easy to pop off by simply removing the pin that holds them together.The first issue I had with this product, however, was that the ceramic bases, unlike the non-stick sides, require you to grease them so your baked goods don't stick. However, the seal against the silicone is flimsy, which causes the oil or butter used to grease the ceramic to drop down through the grommet and along the bottom of the ceramic base, thenceforth onto the bottom of your oven, causing smoke and unwanted odors.This was a nuisance, but I learned to use just the right amount of oil or butter after a while so as to avoid this issue. However, what is simply unforgivable is that the silicone itself began to literally crack and disintegrate after just a year of normal use. I followed all temperature threshold indications and always washed the item after each use, but even so it began to flake into pieces around the bottoms, again where the oil drips through the loose seal between the ceramic base and the silicone mold.So now these molds are useless. I caution prospective buyers to look elsewhere. There are alternative molds that are solid silicone which I'm looking into myself, but in any case spare yourself the letdown of this faulty product. And I do hope Lékué will invest in a superior heat-resistant silicone in the future!
