Le Creuset Non-Stick Madeleine Baking Tray
Create authentic French madeleines at home with the Le Creuset Non-Stick Madeleine Baking Tray. This professional-quality baking tin delivers perfect results every time, featuring 12 distinctive shell-shaped moulds that produce the characteristic ridged appearance of traditional madeleines.
Premium Carbon Steel Construction
Crafted from heavy-gauge carbon steel, this madeleine Baking Tray offers exceptional heat distribution without warping, even at high temperatures. The robust construction ensures the tray maintains its shape through countless baking sessions, providing consistent results year after year. The substantial weight and quality are immediately apparent when you hold it.
Toughened Non-Stick Performance
The tray features two layers of PFOA-free toughened non-stick coating that delivers outstanding food release. Your delicate madeleines effortlessly slide out without sticking, tearing, or leaving residue behind. Many bakers report they don’t even need to grease the moulds—the non-stick performance is that reliable.
Perfect Shell-Shaped Details
The 12 individual shell-shaped cavities are expertly designed to create the iconic scalloped appearance of classic French madeleines. Each mould produces beautifully defined ridges and the characteristic “bump” on the back that signals a perfectly baked madeleine. The thoughtful design ensures even the edges achieve that desirable light caramelisation.
Heat-Resistant Silicone Grips
Integrated heat-resistant silicone inserts on both sides provide secure, comfortable grip when transferring the tray to and from the oven. Even whilst wearing thick oven gloves, you’ll maintain excellent control and confidence. The rolled edges add extra structural support and facilitate safe handling.
Versatile High-Temperature Capability
Oven safe up to 240°C (Gas Mark 9), this tray accommodates various recipes and baking techniques. Whether you’re making traditional lemon madeleines, brown butter madeleines with nutty notes, or creative variations with Earl Grey tea or lavender, this tray handles it all beautifully.
Professional Even Baking
The heavy-gauge carbon steel construction provides superior heat retention and distribution, ensuring every madeleine bakes evenly. No more undercooked centres or burnt edges—each delicate sponge cake achieves that perfect golden colour and tender texture throughout.
Metal Utensil Safe Design
Unlike fragile non-stick surfaces, this toughened coating can withstand careful use of metal utensils. However, Le Creuset recommends using silicone or wooden tools to maximise the coating’s longevity. The scratch-resistant finish maintains its performance through extensive use.
Easy Maintenance
Designed for hand washing with warm soapy water, this tray cleans effortlessly thanks to its superior non-stick properties. Simply rinse under hot water and any residue wipes away immediately. The tray isn’t dishwasher safe, but cleaning is so simple you won’t mind.

Le Creuset stands behind this madeleine tray with their legendary lifetime guarantee, reflecting their confidence in the product’s exceptional quality and durability. This is bakeware designed to last generations, not seasons.
