A food mold (1), comprising a food mold body (2) made of a mold body material, having one or more cells (3) with flexible wall, said one or more cells (3) being open on a common access face (4) itself having a peripheral rim (5) extending radially outward from an inner edge (5d) marking the boundary with the cell or cells (3) and to a free outer edge (5c), the peripheral rim (5) being provided with a peripheral stiffening element (10) in the form of a continuous annular reinforcement (100) with, if necessary, one or more intermediate stiffening elements (101, 102); the peripheral stiffening element (10) is entirely embedded in the mold body material; around the peripheral stiffening element (10), the mold body material has no through passages free or blocked between the peripheral stiffening element (10) and the outer surface of the material.

Implemented is a metal baking pan that utilizes a silicone removable base that securely and sturdily engages with a rim on the baking pan's interior surface, in which the removable base includes an embossed design that can be translated to a cake when cake batter is poured into the baking pan. The baking pan includes a cavity that extends from a top side to a bottom side thereof. The baking pan's interior surface is adapted with a protrusion that functions as a rim which extends into and around a perimeter of the cavity. The rim is present so an edge of the removable base can engage with and rest against the rim, thereby making the base removable and creating an ecosystem of bases with different designs that can be used with the baking pan.

A flexible container includes a tray made of silica gel. The tray is integrally formed with at least one placement cavity with an opening at its top portion. A peripheral flange extends outward from a peripheral edge of the tray. The peripheral flange continuously surrounds the peripheral edge of the tray, and the peripheral flange is embedded with a reinforcing ring. A cross-section of the reinforcing ring has a longitudinal length greater than a lateral length. The invention adopts the reinforcing ring with its cross-section having the longitudinal length greater than the lateral length as a frame reinforcing element, and the reinforcing ring is embedded in the peripheral flange extending outwardly from the edge of the tray.

The present disclosure provides a baking pan having a plurality of ribs projecting upward from the bottom surface thereof. The ribs and an outer wall of the pan define a plurality of cells. The ribs serve as a guide to a user pouring batter into the pan, to ensure that the batter is evenly poured in all areas of the pan. The batter can be poured to a point where it almost covers or just covers the top of the ribs. The present disclosure also provides a spatula having a flat shape at one end and a cutting wheel at another end.

A food mold includes a food mold body made of a mold body material, having one or more cells with flexible wall, the cells being open on a common access face itself having a peripheral rim extending radially outward from an inner edge, marking the boundary with the cell or cells and to a free outer edge, the peripheral rim being provided with a peripheral stiffening element in the form of a continuous annular reinforcement with, if necessary, one or more intermediate stiffening elements. The peripheral stiffening element is entirely embedded in the mold body material. Around the peripheral stiffening element, the mold body material has no through passages free or blocked between the peripheral stiffening element and the outer surface of the material.

A method for making a food pan including forming a pan including a bottom, and a side wall extending along a perimeter of the bottom, wherein the side wall comprises an upper perimeter. The method includes forming a rim around the upper perimeter of the side wall, wherein the rim comprises a top portion and an outer edge, providing a reinforcement band proximate the upper perimeter of the side wall and the rim, and bending the rim around the reinforcement band, wherein the outer edge of the rim contacts the side wall when fully shaped. The method further includes reforming a shape of the reinforcement band and the rim.

The invention relates to a pan (10, 12) for holding food, in particular for baking or cooking, comprising a plurality of side walls (34a, 34b, 35a, 35b) and a floor (33). The invention is characterized in that the pan is formed from a flat mat (11) made of a high-temperature-resistant, elastic, flexible silicone rubber or another plastic, the mat (11) comprising at least one floor panel (13b) and a plurality of side-wall panels (13a, 13c, 13k, 13f) oriented parallel thereto, wherein there is between the floor panel and each side-wall panel an in particular straight predetermined fold line (14a, 14b, 15a, 15b) along which the side-wall panel (13a, 13c, 13k, 13f) can be bent relative to the floor panel (13b) and can be displaced from a flat rest position (FIG. 1) into an orthogonal use position (FIG. 9), and wherein shape-retaining formations (17a, 17b, 17c, 17d, 17e, 17f, 17g, 17h, 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d) are provided that are used to releasably lock a side-wall panel in its use position.

Methods and mold systems for an edible composition that minimize both compression forces (weight of inner portion and/or covering acting upon itself) and lateral forces (relative to moving/handling an edible composition) are provided.
