Before using the mold, lightly grease the interior to prevent sticking. Pour your Castella batter evenly into the mold and bake according to your recipe's instructions, typically at a low temperature for slow baking. After baking, allow the cake to cool slightly before removing it from the mold to maintain its shape. Clean the mold gently with a soft cloth and avoid soaking it in water to preserve the wood.

Clean the mold by wiping it with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh detergents or soaking it in water to prevent damage to the wood. Allow the mold to dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Periodically, you can condition the wood with food-safe mineral oil to maintain its quality and longevity.
