Know before you buy
The pan features six individual cavities, allowing you to bake a half-dozen standard-sized donuts in a single batch.
While the premium nonstick surface is designed for easy release, we recommend a light coating of cooking spray or butter to ensure your donuts pop out perfectly, especially if your recipe is low in fat.
This pan is oven-safe up to 400°F. Avoid exceeding this temperature to maintain the integrity of the nonstick coating and the carbon steel construction.
To preserve the nonstick finish, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or metal utensils, which can scratch the surface.
Each cavity measures 3.25 inches in diameter, which is the standard size for a classic homemade donut. They are perfectly sized for standard glazes and toppings.
