Frequently Asked Questions About Pastry Trays
Pastry trays are professional baking tools designed to support the consistent, large-scale production of cakes, pastries, cookies, puff pastry, tarts, savoury pastries and similar bakery products. They are available in a wide range of shapes, dimensions and coated or uncoated surface options.
EKMAŞ pastry trays are professional baking equipment designed for the industrial production of cakes, pastries, simit, pogaca, sponge cakes, cookies, puff pastry and tarts. They feature thick aluminium bodies with high thermal conductivity and are available with coated or uncoated surfaces.
What is the difference between a professional pastry tray and a domestic baking tray?
Professional pastry trays are manufactured for more intensive use than domestic baking trays and are designed to withstand commercial oven temperatures. Their thicker aluminium bodies help the trays retain their shape at high temperatures and support more even heat distribution. In industrial food production, it is also important to use materials suitable for direct food contact.
What should be considered when selecting a pastry tray?
When selecting a pastry tray, the material thickness, food-contact suitability, coating type, oven rack compatibility, product type and daily production intensity should all be considered. Rack-specific dimensions such as 34 x 88 cm are frequently preferred in professional pastry production.
Which size should be selected for a sponge cake pan?
For standard sponge cake production, round pans with a diameter of 24-26 cm or rectangular pans measuring approximately 30 x 20 cm are commonly preferred. Selecting the correct dimensions helps the sponge rise evenly, supports clean slicing and maintains consistent sizing during cake assembly. The batter weight and required finished cake dimensions should guide the selection.
What types of professional pastry trays are available?
Professional pastry tray options vary according to the product being manufactured. Pogaca and simit trays, grissini trays, oval country bread pans, elliptical country bread pans, sponge cake pans, baklava trays, savoury pastry trays, tart pans and cake base pans are among the models included in this category.
What are the main features of professional pastry trays?
Professional pastry trays feature durable bodies suitable for commercial ovens, balanced heat distribution, easy-to-clean surfaces and a wide range of dimensions for different product shapes. Coated models help reduce sticking, while uncoated models may be preferred for intensive and long-term production.
What materials are professional pastry trays made from?
Professional pastry trays are generally manufactured from aluminium. Aluminium is widely preferred in pastry production because of its lightweight construction and effective heat conductivity. The material specification should be selected according to the product type, oven system and production intensity.
Can professional pastry trays be supplied with a non-stick coating?
Yes. Professional pastry trays can be supplied with coated surface options according to production requirements. A non-stick coating helps reduce adhesion between the dough or baked product and the tray surface, while also shortening cleaning time. Coated models can provide practical advantages when producing cakes, sponge layers, cookies and certain sweet dough products.
Can products stick to professional pastry trays?
The risk of sticking depends on the dough recipe, product ingredients, tray surface, coating type, greasing method and baking temperature. Coated pastry trays help reduce adhesion. With uncoated models, correct greasing, the use of baking paper where appropriate and regular cleaning are important for reliable product release.
Which businesses are professional pastry trays suitable for?
Professional pastry trays are suitable for pastry shops, bakeries, hotel kitchens, catering companies, restaurants, bakery manufacturers and industrial food production facilities. They are preferred by businesses seeking consistent production of cakes, pastries, cookies, puff pastry, tarts, savoury pastries and similar products.
