Great price on excellent moulds
I bought four of these molds to add to many similarly sized Mauviel molds I bought in Paris.  Compared to the Mauviel, the gold standard, I am happy to report these do the trick just as well, and for a fraction of the price.  I’ll provide some volumetric and weight details for your own understanding but i would say the canelés I made with these molds were absolutely perfectly baked, beautifully shaped, and effortlessly released.<br /><br />The Mauviel molds hold 94 mL (3.18 fluid ounces) and weigh 84 grams empty. They are sturdily crafted to last a lifetime.<br /><br />These molds hold 84 mL (2.84 ounces) on account of their being a few millimeters shorter, and weigh in at 68 grams.  They are built well, if SLIGHTLY thinner than the Mauviel.  I can imagine they will last forever too.  They are slightly more cylindrical than the more conical Mauviels but I really like the sharper fluting on these, which produce a lovely, more elegant canelé.<br /><br />Thank you to Brocante de France for providing an affordable way of having high quality heirloom molds for this Bordeaux treat.  I will further express that I received the molds well packaged over a week earlier than the estimate, tied with a ribbon and with a handwritten thank you.  I’ve already ordered another set.
