Stainless steel plating and pastry rings

Kitchen rings are ideal both for plating up and for pastry work: they build the plate in layers (tartares, salads, timbales, rice dishes) and shape cakes, mousses and semifreddos with clean edges. At Hiperchef you will find round, square, rectangular and adjustable stainless steel rings from the Ibili, Lacor and Pujadas brands, plus the accessories that complete the job: a presser, an acetate roll and a PVC cake collar for mousse.

Round plating rings

They are the most widely used format in the kitchen. The round Ibili rings, 4.5 cm high, run from Ø4 to Ø24 cm (references 716004 to 716024), so they cover everything from an individual portion to a large presentation. If you are after more height for building layers, the round Ibili rings, 6 cm high, are made from Ø6 to Ø12 cm. From Lacor, the highlights are the 4.5 cm high Mousse rings and the 3.5 cm high Entremet rings, both designed for pastry work and cold plating, along with the 4 cm high round ring in 18/10 stainless steel.

Square and rectangular rings

For more architectural presentations, the Ibili set of 3 square rings includes the 6, 8 and 10 cm sizes, and its individual square mould runs from 4x4 to 10x10 cm with a height of 4.5 cm. The Lacor square ring mould, in 18/10 stainless steel, goes up to 20x20 cm (references 68460 to 68240, 4 cm high). The Ibili rectangular mould is available in 8x5x4.5 and 12x6x4.5 cm, and the Lacor set of 4 pastry rings combines round (Ø7.7 and Ø10.7 cm), square (8.2 cm) and triangle (6.6 cm) shapes in a single purchase, all 5 cm high.

Adjustable rings: one mould, many sizes

The Ibili adjustable round mould adjusts by means of a fork from Ø16 to Ø30 cm, with a height of 6 cm, and lets you cook directly on the oven tray or plate up on any flat surface. Its rectangular version opens out from 20x24 to 38x46 cm. They are the most versatile option if you would rather not fill the drawer with fixed sizes.

Pastry rings for baking

The Lacor Vacherin pastry ring, in 18/10 stainless steel, is the classic for shortcrust, puff and choux pastry: it delivers regular, well-defined edges and a perfect release of the base. It is made in 13 diameters, from Ø7 to Ø28 cm, all 6 cm high (references 68607 to 68628).

Accessories: presser, acetate and PVC cake collar

The Ibili ring presser (Ø7 cm, compatible with most rings) compacts the ingredients inside the ring so the shape does not collapse when you lift it off. There is also the Ibili set of 3 round rings with the presser included, in Ø7, 8 and 10 cm, stackable and dishwasher-safe. For semifreddos and mousses, the Ibili PVC acetate roll lines the inside of the ring and makes for a flawless release, and the Pujadas PVC cake collar for mousse offers 100 metres of 150 microns in heights of 40 and 50 mm, designed for bakeries and the catering trade.

How to choose your plating ring

For individual portions, the Ø7 to Ø10 cm range is the most practical; heights of 4 to 6 cm let you build two or three layers. For cakes and presentations to share, go for the Ø20 to Ø28 cm diameters or an adjustable ring that covers them all. If you bake pastry, choose 18/10 stainless steel rings such as the Vacherin. Complete your kit in the baking utensils, metal baking tins and presentation dinnerware categories, or browse the full Ibili, Lacor and Pujadas catalogues.

Frequently asked questions about plating rings

What is a plating ring for?

For building the plate in layers with a regular shape: tartares, salads, timbales of rice, vegetables or fish. Place the ring on the plate, fill it in layers, compact it and lift it straight up. In pastry work, the same rings shape mousses, semifreddos and cakes.

Which size of plating ring should I choose?

For individual portions, from Ø7 to Ø10 cm with a height of 4.5 to 6 cm. For cakes or presentations to share, from Ø20 to Ø28 cm. If you want a single piece for everything, the Ibili adjustable mould adjusts from Ø16 to Ø30 cm.

How do I stop food sticking to the ring?

Compact the filling with a presser (the Ibili one is Ø7 cm) and lift the ring straight up with a firm movement. For mousses and semifreddos, line the inside first with PVC acetate or a cake collar: the release comes out clean, with a glossy edge.

Can plating rings go in the oven?

The stainless steel ones can. The Lacor Vacherin ring (18/10) is designed for baking shortcrust, puff and choux pastry, and the Ibili adjustable mould lets you cook directly on the oven tray.

Can the rings go in the dishwasher?

The stainless steel rings in this catalogue are easy to clean, and models such as the Ibili ring set with presser are dishwasher-safe. As they are pieces with no mechanisms, simply rinse them well and dry them to keep them like new.
