Know before you buy
This pan creates a single hemisphere. To make a full ball, you will need to bake two separate cakes using this pan and join them together with frosting or ganache once they have cooled.
While the anodized aluminum provides a natural release, we recommend greasing the pan with butter or shortening and dusting it with flour, or using a parchment paper circle at the base to ensure your cake releases perfectly.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and prevent oxidation, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and drying it thoroughly.
Yes, the aluminum construction is excellent for chilled desserts like gelatin molds, chocolate shells, or ice cream cakes, as the metal conducts cold as efficiently as it does heat.
A standard 6-inch hemisphere pan typically holds about 3 to 4 cups of batter. Be careful not to overfill it; leave about an inch of space at the top to allow for the cake to rise without overflowing.
