Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Pumpkin Patch Pan Review

What is the primary difference between this pan and a basic mini-bundt pan? The picture doesn't do the pan justice. Some of the pumpkins are a little narrower and taller and some are a bit squatty. There are leaves and tendrils embossed on the pumpkins -- all differences from the standard mini-bundt pan.

You get what you pay for, and the quality of this pans is worth the money, and properly cared for, it will last a lifetime. For perfect unmolding every time -- although the pan is non-stick, it needs to be properly prepared -- and that is most easily accomplished by using either Wilton's cake release or a cooking spray designed for baking (one that contains flour.)

To ensure a perfect unmolding, let the cake cool upright for ten minutes after removing it from the oven before inverting it. Too soon and the cakes will be fragile and may fall apart, longer than 10 minutes and the cakes begin to adhere to the pan and may stick. And, as with all non-stick surface pans, never use metal utensils or harsh scouring pads on the pan.

Dense batters work best because coarse batters (lots of air and little fat) have lots of bubbles which reduce the amount of detail reflected in the finished cake. There are many recipes for pound cakes and bundt cakes that will work perfectly with this pan, along with the recipe included with the pan from Nordic Ware. Give the pan a good rap on the counter before putting it in the oven to release any trapped air bubbles. The cakes produced are intricate and highly detailed. It looks like much effort was expended. These pumpkin cakes will add a lovely touch to a Thanksgiving buffet or a Halloween themed party.

Nordic Ware 58148 3D Great Pumpkin Pan Review

Williams sonoma was first to commission this pan's creation from nordic ware and that's when I got mine. It was also featured on the cover of Country Living magazine 2 years ago and the country went gaga over it! It's an absolutely fabulous pan. I used mine for Thanksgiving and golly, what a centerpiece! Even made rolled fondant for the leaves and stem. However, chocolate fudge works well too for the stem, vanilla tinted green for the leaves. This was very easy to make, it stays together very nicely, and is quite the awe-inspiring dish to take to your Thanksgiving gathering. Before I got it, I thought it would be hard to get it out of the pan in one piece, but it was (okay I HAVE to say this!) a PIECE OF CAKE! If you're into making a jack-o-lantern, you can cut orange jelly candy in the shape of a mouth, eyes, nose, etc.There's also a recipe sheet that comes with the pan.The Williams Sonoma version is glazed a little more prettier and I think it makes the cake pop out easier. I'm thrilled to have it and just bought the loaf pan to go with it! Plus, Nordicware is made here in the USA. Great stuff, highly, highly recommend!

Nordic Ware Pumpkin Loaf Pan Review

The design in this Pumpkin Loaf pan is distinctive and it looks great whether on a buffet table for a harvest celebration, bake sale or quick bread gift. Pumpkin bread, gingerbread or spice cake work beautifully. The pan takes the same amount of batter as a 9 x 5 loaf pan, so there is no conversion problem in using favorite recipes for quick breads, and the included recipe is also delicious.

Coat the inside of the pan thoroughly with a cooking spray that contains flour, like Bakers Joy to ensure ease in unmolding. Turn the pan upside down on papertowels so the excess drains out while the batter is being prepared. After removing the pan from the oven let it rest for ten minutes (no longer) on a cooling rack before unmolding.With these steps I have never had a problem with cake sticking to the pan. Also, I've found that using only small pieces of add-ins like nuts, candied ginger or chocolate chips (mini chips) work best. The little pieces stay suspended and do not sink to the bottom obscuring the lovely design. And, as another reviewer mentioned, before putting the pan in the oven, give it a good whack on the counter to release any air bubbles in the batter so all areas of the design are as prominent as possible.

With proper care the pan should last a lifetime, just avoid using metal utensils, harsh scouring pads and always wash by hand to preserve the non-stick surface. This deeply embossed pans somehow takes the most mundane recipe and elevates it. And, I never tire of unmolding a cake or quick bread and seeing the beautiful result - it is so satisfying. This pan also makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves to bake.
