Square Savarin Silicone Baking Mold vs Tescoma Mould: which is safer?
Square Savarin Silicone Baking Mold is the clear pick. Tescoma Mould carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag Degradation and brittleness over time, Mold and bacterial colonization and Odor and flavor absorption on the Calphalon and not on the Tescoma.
- We flag Silicone oligomer leaching, Colorant or pigment toxicity, Thermal degradation at high heat and PFAS in non-stick or release layers on the Tescoma and not on the Calphalon.
- The Calphalon is Food-grade silicone where the Tescoma is silicone mold, coating unspecified, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 65 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Calphalon is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Tescoma grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
