Nordic Ware Cast Aluminium Gold Braided Bundt Pan 23cm

An inspirational American sucess story, Nordic Ware was founded in 1946 by a determined wife, Dotty, and her resourceful husband Dave, newly back from the second world war. With only $500 in their pockets, a few good ideas, and a desire to create a business of their own, a humble kitchenware company was launched from the basement of their home in Minneapolis, Minnesota Made from cast aluminium Gold coloured coating Measures 23cm diameter x 9.5cm height Capacity 12 Cups / 2.8 litres Use and Care Before initial use and after each use, hand wash with warm soapy water - NEVER place in the dishwasher Before each use, brush with solid vegetable shortening and dust with flour or cocoa - DO NOT use regular cooking spray Do not use metal utensils, scourers or abrasive cleaners Always use a recipe intended for a Bundt pan - packet mixes don't work well in these pans because they contain a lot of leavening and turn out light and fluffy, whereas recipes for Bundt cakes that include ingredients like sour cream, butter, yoghurt etc. have better results Do not overfill the Bundt pan - no more than 3/4 full to avoid overflow Bake on a middle shelf of the oven, not the top or bottom. The typical Bundt cooking temperature is 160-175C for about 50-60 minutes Once removed from the oven, allow the cake to cool for 7-10 minutes before removing - trying to remove the cake from the Bundt pan before hand may cause the cake to tear and / or crumble DO NOT run knives or sharp implements around the edge of the tin to try and remove the cake - instead, try flipping over the cake after 10 minutes and if it does not easily come out, use a silicone spatula or similar to try and remove it
