Troubleshooting
Cake is sticking to the edges of the mold
Ensure the mold was thoroughly greased and dusted with flour or cocoa powder before pouring in the batter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Decora Charlotte pan lasts for years, follow these care guidelines:
- Prepping: Always grease or flour the mold lightly before use to maximize the non-stick benefits.
- Utensils: Use only silicone, wood, or nylon tools. Metal utensils can scratch the non-stick surface, leading to premature degradation.
- Cleaning: Wash the pan by hand using warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads, as these will ruin the non-stick coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. If stacking, place a paper towel or cloth between the pan and other items to prevent scratching.
