Lékué Bagel Moulds, Brown, 6-Piece,

Much easier to get uniform holes in your bagels with these and simplifies transfer from boiling water to oven

As someone who is wheat free, i have been baking my own breads for years. There are some baked goods however that I do miss and bagels is one of them. This item was easy to use and helped me make professional looking bagels. Follow the instructions to make perfect bagels. The only adjustment I made as other reviews suggested, was to take the bagels off the moulds before they were fully baked, this allows for a more even looking bake. Time according to your oven temp, experiment!

I had never tried making bagels before and the Lékué Bagel Mould seemed a promising product to make the process easier. The moulds were reassuringly well made and did make the process easier, as I suspected The biggest advantage was in making consistent bagels; all the same size and shape. As other revievers have noticed though they do have a fatal flaw in that they readily float and the fall over once immersed in water which is very annoying. The solution to this is to drill a hole in the top of the central spindle which releases any entrapped air and hey presto the mould is no longer a boat but a submarine!

This product is perfect for the job the fact that they are not made of steel means the Bagel does not stick it withstands the heat required and no difficult cleaning is involved.

I first bought bagel pans from amazon, they are all way too small for bagels so had to return them. So glad I found this product though, it is pure quality, and perfect size. Came really nicely packaged too. From the pictures It does look like the bagel holes will be larger than the norm, but will have to try and see.

Saw a humorous review of these in the Guardian which (even so) convinced me to try them. I'm glad I did. I wouldn't recommend the recipe given here which seems too skimpy to make good sized bagels and has too much salt. Adjust ingredients up by 1/3 except for the salt or find an alternative recipe online.

I bought these as a result of a favourable review in "The Guardian" - they work and are good for shaping the bagels and for poaching them EXCEPT for a basic design flaw that a child with a knowledge of diving bells could have predicted. When the moulds with the bagels are placed in the poaching water they float at all sorts of odd angles, because air gets trapped in the conical upright parts of the moulds. I have modified mine, using a hand operated hole punch, to allow the air to escape and the mould (and bagel) to sit securely on the bottom of the pan. These are good for holding the bagels in shape during the second rising (proving) stage, but I do not recommend cooking them on the moulds as suggested - it works far better if the poached bagels are tipped from the moulds onto a baking sheet before transfer to the oven. Silicone is too good an insulator to allow even cooking if the bagels are left on the moulds when transferred to the oven. Having said all this, I would buy them again, but please, Lekue, try actually using your products before putting them on the market! I should also point out that the first box I was sent was a mould short, and the replacement box had a faulty booklet, with recipes in a multitude of languages, none of them English.

Made some quality bagels thanks to these. Great & easy to clean & really handy to get uniform bakes & sizes

Very deserving of a five star review. We have found these silicone bagel molds to be of very high quality. The design is absolutely genius. The silicone stays cool to the touch, making it easy and safe to hold the bagels in simmering water prior to topping and then baking them right on the molds. Water drains off quickly through the bottom perforations that also enable even browning when they bake. I've had no problems washing mine in the top rack of the dishwasher. A small bonus is that they make me smile whenever I use them because they look like witches' hats. 🙂 My husband and I look forward to getting many years of happy use from these sturdy but flexible forms. We've been having a lot of fun making all kinds of bagels together, some of which have been what you might call "creative." 😁 (The photo is of a mixed batch of seeded and cinnamon baking in our new Breville Smart Oven Air.)

Mi trovo molto bene con questi stampi da bagel, seguendo la ricetta contenuta nella scatola mi sono sempre venuti benissimo. Ora li faccio tutti i sabati usando una farina manitoba ai cereali oppure una farina integrale e ho sempre ottenuto una resa perfetta. Un po' costosi ma se vi piacciono i bagels vale la pena.

Die Lékué Bagelformen sind einfach großartig! Die Silikonformen sind flexibel, hitzebeständig und machen das Bagel-Backen unglaublich einfach. Durch die konische Form behalten die Bagels ihre typische Form, und nichts klebt an. Zudem lassen sich die Formen leicht reinigen, entweder per Hand oder in der Spülmaschine. Die Größe der Formen (10,3 cm) ist ideal für mittlere Bagels, und es macht richtig Spaß, sie zu benutzen. Mit den 6 Stück im Set hat man genug, um eine größere Menge auf einmal zu backen. Fazit: Super praktische Backhelfer für Bagelliebhaber – klare Kaufempfehlung!

I was skeptical about silicon baking products but am extremely happy with this product. In fact, I was so happy with it that I bought three more sets for my adult kids who all like to bake. The product works exactly as described and the recipe book that comes with the instructions is simple and accurate. Though not so cheap, this is a great product.

Top qualité et facilité d’utilisation.
