Product Description

Bake beautifully shaped loaves with the Agnelli Blue Steel Bread Mould with Lid, designed for professional bakeries and serious home bakers. Its long, narrow profile and sliding lid help create consistently shaped loaves that are ideal for sandwiches, toast, canapés, and portioned bread service.

Crafted in Italy from blue steel, this professional bread mould is designed to withstand repeated baking while providing excellent heat transfer for even baking and browning. The fitted sliding lid helps control the shape of the dough as it rises, producing a more uniform loaf with straighter sides and a controlled top.

Measuring 15.7 x 3.9 inches (40 x 10 cm) with a 3.9-inch (10 cm) height, the elongated design creates a distinctive bakery-style loaf. The blue steel construction naturally develops a seasoned patina with use, which is a normal and desirable characteristic of this material.

Made in Italy and 100% recyclable, this Agnelli bread mould combines traditional professional bakeware construction with a practical covered design.

Care & Use – Blue Steel

Blue steel requires different care than stainless steel or coated bakeware. Proper seasoning, washing, and drying help protect the surface and allow a natural patina to develop.

• Before First Use – Wash the pan with hot water and a small amount of mild dish soap to remove manufacturing residue. Rinse and dry immediately and completely.
• Season Before Baking – Apply a very thin layer of neutral, high-smoke-point cooking oil to the interior. Wipe away excess oil so only a light film remains, then heat the pan to help establish the initial seasoning.
• Prepare Before Baking – Lightly grease the mould as appropriate for your bread recipe to promote easy release.
• Hand Wash Only – Never place blue steel in the dishwasher.
• Do Not Soak – Prolonged exposure to water can encourage rust.
• Dry Immediately – After washing, thoroughly towel-dry the pan. Briefly warming it can help evaporate any remaining moisture.
• Protect for Storage – Once completely dry, apply an extremely thin film of cooking oil before storing, especially if the pan will not be used frequently.
• Avoid Harsh Detergents & Abrasives – Aggressive cleaning can strip the developing seasoning.
• Expect a Natural Patina – Blue steel will gradually darken and change appearance. This is normal and is part of the seasoning process.
• If Surface Rust Appears – Gently remove it with a non-aggressive scrubber, wash and thoroughly dry the pan, then apply a thin layer of oil and re-season.

Important: Blue steel should not remain wet after cleaning. Moisture left on the surface can cause oxidation or rust.
