The terrine molds from the Strassburg series by Holst Porzellan meet the high demands of professional oven porcelain. What might be a lovely porcelain kitchen jar for one, in which food and kitchen utensils can be stored, is a functional item for the professional chef, with important details essential for the preparation of pâtés and terrines.

After preparation in the oven, a terrine mold must be flipped to ensure that the delicate pâté does not crack or, in the worst case, fall apart. Therefore, it is important that the inner walls slightly rise from the base upward and that there are no ridges on the terrine body at the lid supports. The inner corners between the walls and the base must not have any cavities or edges where the pâté mixture could stick. The bottom of the mold must be even and flat to ensure that heat is evenly distributed in the oven during cooking. The lid must fit the terrine mold well but should not be completely airtight, allowing hot air to escape from the pâté mold in a controlled manner. For this reason, Holst Porzellan has additionally added a vent hole to the lid knob.

Our terrine and pâté molds in the Strassburg series are made of high-quality hard porcelain, which allows for cooking temperatures of up to 500°C with moderate heating in the oven. Please note that no hard porcelain should be subjected to a thermal shock (from extremely hot to cold – or vice versa). Besides, no pâté made from fine or high-quality ingredients can withstand such a shock either.

Unlike terrine molds made from other materials, the pâté can be stored and served in the same mold in which it was prepared. Additionally, reheating terrines and pâtés is easy in the ovenproof porcelain mold. Above all, only genuine porcelain maintains an extremely reliable level of hygienic stability, which is further enhanced by the radiant white of feldspar porcelain.

If something burns, the oven molds made of porcelain can be cleaned quickly and without leaving any residue. We have also improved the storage and stacking of our terrine molds compared to many other brands on the market because the lid can be turned upside down and placed into the mold, allowing other terrine molds to be stacked on top. This saves space in the kitchen cabinet.
