Which products can be baked in a panini tray?
Panini trays can be used for panini bread, small ciabatta loaves, focaccina and selected types of flat sandwich rolls. They are widely used by cafés, bistros, hotel kitchens, sandwich manufacturers and professional bakeries.
What is the difference between a panini tray and a sandwich roll tray?
A panini tray has wider, flatter and more oval-shaped cavities. A sandwich roll tray is generally designed with narrower and deeper channels. The broader base of a panini tray helps the dough retain its distinctive shape and creates a bread profile suitable for slicing and preparing pressed sandwiches.
Does a panini tray need a non-stick coating?
Some panini dough recipes contain olive oil or eggs and may perform well in an uncoated tray. However, coated models can help improve production speed, allow the baked bread to release more easily and reduce cleaning time. The most suitable option depends on the dough recipe and production conditions.
What features should a professional panini tray have?
A professional panini tray should have accurately formed cavities that support the required flat, oval bread shape. It should also provide balanced heat distribution, feature an easy-to-clean surface and have a durable body suitable for intensive commercial use. Coated or uncoated models should be selected according to the dough characteristics and production volume.
What material are EKMAŞ panini trays made from?
EKMAŞ panini trays are manufactured from aluminised steel. This material provides reliable heat transfer, structural strength and durability suitable for professional bakery ovens. Coated and uncoated models can be selected according to the intended application.
Why is aluminised steel used for panini trays?
Aluminised steel provides balanced heat distribution, durability and well-defined product shaping. These properties help panini bread bake more consistently and retain a uniform profile. Material quality is important for reliable baking performance, repeated professional use and long service life.
Are panini trays available in different sizes?
Yes. Panini trays can be manufactured in different dimensions according to the required dough weight, bread length, width, number of cavities and oven rack size. Different configurations can be produced for applications ranging from small café batches to high-capacity professional bakery lines.
Can panini bread stick to the tray?
The risk of sticking depends on the dough recipe, tray surface, coating type, greasing method and baking temperature. Coated panini trays help reduce adhesion between the dough and the mould. With uncoated models, correct greasing and regular cleaning are important for reliable product release.
Which businesses are panini trays suitable for?
Panini trays are suitable for cafés, bistros, hotel kitchens, restaurants, catering companies, sandwich production facilities and professional bakeries. They provide a practical solution for businesses that require flat, oval panini bread with consistent dimensions and a uniform shape.
What should be considered when selecting a panini tray?
When selecting a panini tray, the required bread shape, tray dimensions, number of cavities, oven rack compatibility, coating preference, daily production capacity and cleaning requirements should all be considered. Choosing the correct tray helps produce bread with consistent dimensions and a well-defined shape.
