The strawberry season started and now I had the opportunity to test the cake ring. Good adjustable, easy to clean, is well located and fixed to the floor. But: Most tart shells have a slightly raised outer ring. So there is not much space between flan and pie shell. The pie ring is at the juncture of the top and bottom flattened wide body that barely fits betw. Tart edge and pie shell edge. This then the cake easily round.
