One technique, several names
Built for the shell you want to serve
Croustade irons, pie tee molds, rosette irons and buñuelos molds share a related frying method. We develop the shape around batter release, wall strength, filling space and repeatability during service.
System compatibility
Suitable heads can be developed for Nordic Chefs Single, Double or FiveMount workflows.
From one custom tool
A single custom mold or head can be ordered. Additional copies can be produced once the design is established.
Designed for service
Form must support function
- Clean batter release
- Stable walls and practical filling volume
- Balanced size and weight
- Consistent results across repeated batches
- Ergonomic use with the chosen handle system

Frequently asked
Custom croustade and pie tee FAQ
What is the difference between a pie tee mold and a croustade iron?
The terms describe closely related tools and techniques for frying thin, crisp shells. Naming varies by culinary tradition and region; the required geometry depends on the finished result.
Can I order one custom mold head?
Yes. One custom tool is possible. Additional copies can normally be produced more efficiently after the design has been established.
Can a custom head fit my existing Nordic Chefs handle?
Often, yes. We first confirm dimensions, weight and operating conditions for the chosen Single, Double or FiveMount setup.
What should I send?
A sketch, image or description, approximate dimensions, intended filling or finished bite, desired quantity and target date.
