Know before you buy
While the detail is impressive, it requires careful preparation. We recommend using a high-quality baking spray with flour or brushing the pan thoroughly with melted butter and dusting it with flour to ensure every tentacle releases cleanly.
This pan typically holds between 9 and 10 cups of batter. To avoid overflow, fill the pan no more than three-quarters full, leaving enough room for the cake to rise.
While Nordic Ware pans are durable, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and the integrity of the cast aluminum. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the detailed surface.
Cast aluminum conducts heat exceptionally well, which can sometimes lead to browning the edges too quickly. If you find the exterior is darkening before the center is set, try lowering your oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit and extending the baking time slightly.
No, you should avoid metal utensils as they can scratch the interior finish. Stick to silicone, nylon, or wooden tools to maintain the pan's surface and ensure easy release for future bakes.
