FAQs
Can I put these cake pans in the dishwasher?
No, these cake pans are hand wash only. Dishwasher detergents and the high heat can damage the non-stick coating and the springform mechanism.
What is the best way to clean the non-stick surface?
Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals to preserve the non-stick properties.
Are these pans suitable for cheesecakes?
Yes, the springform design and removable bottom make them ideal for cheesecakes and other delicate desserts that need careful removal.
How do I prevent batter from leaking?
Ensure the removable bottom is properly seated and the clasp is tightly secured. For very liquid batters, using a circle of parchment paper on the bottom can provide an extra seal.
What are the dimensions of the pans?
The set includes three pans with diameters of 22cm, 24cm, and 26cm, all with a height of 6.7cm.
Can I use metal utensils with these pans?
It is not recommended to use metal utensils, as they can scratch and damage the non-stick coating, reducing its effectiveness and lifespan.
Do I need to grease and flour the pans if they are non-stick?
While the non-stick coating helps, it is still recommended to lightly grease and flour the pans, or use a baking spray, for optimal results and even easier release, especially for moist or sticky cakes.
Troubleshooting
Cake sticks to the pan
Ensure the pan was adequately greased and floured (or sprayed with baking spray) before adding batter, even with the non-stick coating. Check if the non-stick surface has been damaged by metal utensils or abrasive cleaning.
Batter leaks from the base
Verify that the removable bottom is correctly seated in the pan's groove and that the springform clasp is securely tightened. For very thin batters, consider lining the base with parchment paper.
Clasp is difficult to open or close
Ensure there are no food residues or dried batter around the clasp mechanism. Gently clean the clasp and apply a tiny amount of food-grade lubricant if necessary. Avoid forcing the clasp.
Uneven baking
Ensure your oven temperature is accurate using an oven thermometer. Rotate the cake pan halfway through baking if your oven tends to have hot spots. Make sure the pan is placed in the center of the oven rack.
