The Matfer Bourgeat half sphere mould is a simple, single-cavity stainless steel mould used to shape both hot and cold preparations into a clean, uniform dome. At 80mm in diameter it produces a generous half sphere — practical for plated desserts, chocolate work, mousse portions, jellies, savoury terrines, and various cold-set garnishes.

In a professional kitchen, consistency is as important as flavour. A mould like this removes guesswork from portion shaping and allows a section to replicate the same presentation across every cover. Stainless steel construction means it handles temperature extremes well — suitable for use directly from the freezer through to applications involving warm preparations — and it cleans quickly without retaining odours or residues.

  • Produces clean, uniform half-sphere shapes for consistent plated presentation
  • Suitable for hot and cold applications including mousse, jelly, chocolate, and savoury preparations
  • Stainless steel resists odour transfer and withstands repeated professional use
  • Compact and lightweight, easy to store in volume without dedicated racking

This mould is best suited to pastry sections, fine dining operations, and any kitchen where plated presentation is a priority. It works well as part of a larger set where multiple spheres are needed per service. For operations running high cover counts, it is worth considering how many units are required to support your production flow without becoming a bottleneck.

If you are unsure how many moulds your operation needs or whether a silicone alternative might better suit your workflow, the team is happy to talk through the options.

Frequently asked questions

How many of these moulds would a typical pastry section need?

That depends on your cover count and production method. If you are setting portions ahead of service, you will generally need enough moulds to cover at least one full service sitting without washing between uses. For high-volume operations, buying in multiples of six or twelve is common practice.

Is stainless steel the right choice, or would silicone moulds be better for this application?

Stainless steel is the more durable option and better suited to preparations that require precise chilling or gentle warming, such as set mousses or warm chocolate work. Silicone offers more flexibility for intricate demoulding but can be less stable during filling. For clean half-sphere shapes with a firm set, stainless steel is a reliable choice.

Can this mould be used for savoury as well as sweet applications?

Yes. The 80mm half sphere is a practical size for savoury presentations such as rice timbales, set terrines, or vegetable preparations, as well as the more typical confectionery and dessert uses. Stainless steel does not retain flavours between uses, provided it is cleaned thoroughly.
