Abstract
The baking tin comprises a hollow part (1a) made of a flexible material having a side wall (3) whose upper end defines an opening (5), and a rigid reinforcement (7). Another annular or disk-shaped reinforcement (11′) is linked to the bottom (2), close to the join with the side wall (3).
Claims14
A mould for a culinary preparation, comprising:
- a flexible hollow piece made from an elastomer material and a removable rigid plate-shaped base stiffener,
- said flexible hollow piece having an upright side wall and a lower portion,
- said upright side wall being an annular continuous wall,
- said lower portion comprising a flexible lower lip projecting from a lower base of the upright side wall, holding said rigid plate-shaped base stiffener and defining with said plate-shaped base stiffener a bottom wall of the mould,
- a flexible upper lip projecting from the lower base of the upright side wall, extending above said flexible lower lip, defining with said flexible lower lip a radially opened groove in which the plate-shaped base stiffener is removably received and clipped,
- said flexible upper lip pinning said plate-shaped base stiffener against said flexible lower lip,
- said flexible lower lip being a ring-shaped wall limited towards the centre of the bottom wall by a hole that is covered by the plated-shaped base stiffener,
- said lower ring-shaped wall having an upper surface presenting a shouldering making it thicker in the peripheral part that is close to the lower base of the side wall than in a central part that is close to the hole, and
- said plate-shaped base stiffener having an annular step in order to approximately follow said upper surface of the lower ring-shaped wall on which it is disposed.
