Pudding mold
Pudding form with bayonet lock of the lid
A classic pudding mold for hot- cooked or baked puddings is a conically tapered downwardly pot made of sheet metal. Usually the shape has a volume of about 1½ to 2 liters and a tightly fitting lid.
Pot and lid are usually made of sheet metal , with the individual parts (wall and floor etc.) being firmly and tightly connected to one another by flanging . The lid has a locking device in the form of spring clips or rotary detents.
Often the pot has a central taper up to the level of the upper edge. This cone, which is open to the outside and at the bottom, allows the heat from the surrounding cooking water to reach the middle area of the pudding and cook it more consistently.
