Know before you buy
Yes, this pan is versatile enough for any dense or airy batter that requires a tube pan. Its 18-cup capacity makes it ideal for large-batch coffee cakes, bundt recipes, or even savory gelatin molds.
Yes. While the nonstick coating is high-quality, dishwasher detergents are often too harsh and can degrade the surface over time. Hand washing with warm, soapy water is the best way to preserve the pan's performance and ensure it lasts a lifetime.
Yes, metal utensils will damage the premium nonstick coating. We recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon tools to protect the finish and prevent flaking.
Cast aluminum is excellent at conducting heat evenly, which helps your cakes bake uniformly without hot spots. Because it is a heavy-duty material, you may find that your cakes bake slightly faster than in thinner, steel pans, so it is a good idea to check for doneness a few minutes early.
Even with a nonstick coating, we recommend lightly greasing and flouring the pan before adding your batter, especially for delicate angel food cakes. If you find a stubborn spot, let the pan cool completely and soak it in warm, soapy water before gently wiping it clean with a soft sponge.
