Troubleshooting

Cakes sticking to the pan

Ensure the pan was adequately greased and floured, especially in the intricate details. Allow cakes to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before attempting to invert. Reapplying a quality non-stick spray before greasing can also help.

Uneven baking or browning

Check your oven's temperature calibration. Ensure the pan is centered in the oven for even heat circulation. Some recipes may require a slightly reduced baking time for mini cakes.

Difficulty cleaning the detailed design

Soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a short period to loosen any residue. Use a soft brush or sponge to gently clean the crevices. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.

Non-stick coating wearing off

This typically results from using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning. Always use non-abrasive tools and hand wash only. Contact Nordic Ware customer service if you suspect a manufacturing defect, as the pan comes with a lifetime warranty.
