A mold assembly including at least three pieces that are joined together by a seal. Once joined together, the mold assembly defines an interior cavity defining a shape for a baked comestible product. A comestible substance is injected into the interior cavity through an opening in the mold assembly that is either defined by one of the three pieces or by an opening in the seal between two or more of the three pieces. After baking, the pieces of the mold can be peeled away from the comestible product by breaking the seal.

A housing for a masonry oven core comprises at least two shaped sections, capable of being attached together to form a shape that encompasses a masonry oven core. They are at least partly formed from mesh material capable of being rendered with mortar. The completed housing is substantially semi-spherical, and the wall sections extend substantially vertically.

Embodiments of the invention described herein thus provide systems and methods for creating a pressed food item in an oven cooking cavity. The oven system is secured within the oven cooking cavity and is not dependent upon oven door movement or any other oven function. A movable platen is configured to move up and down with respect to a lower platen in order to press a food item during the cooking process. The movable platen may be activated via an actuating arm that extends and is manipulated from outside the oven cooking cavity. In another example, the movable platen may be activated by motor.

A cupcake baking assembly for cooking without aluminum foil includes a pot that is fillable with water thereby facilitating the water to be boiled in the pot. In this way the water is converted to steam for cooking. A cup insert is removably positionable on the pot to be heated by the steam for cooking. A lid is positionable on the cup insert when the cup insert is positioned on the pot. A plurality of cups is provided and each of the cups is fillable with a fluid food material. Each of the cups is insertable into the cup insert. Additionally, each of the cups is comprised of a thermally conductive material such that each of the cups is in thermal communication the cup insert. In this way each of the cups cooks the fluid food material contained therein.

A precision baking system includes a baking vessel that defines a vertical direction. The baking vessel includes a base wall and at least one sidewall. An aperture is formed in one of the base wall and the sidewall. The precision baking system also includes a temperature probe. The temperature probe includes a tip and a temperature sensor within the tip. The temperature probe is sized to extend through the aperture such that the tip of the temperature probe is spaced from the base wall and the sidewall of the baking vessel when the temperature probe is fully inserted into the baking vessel through the aperture.
