Nordic WareRound Natural Cake Pan, 9-Inch, 2-Pack

I bought two of these pans because I had some very old ones that, although in great condition, were only 1-½” high. Most new recipes call for 2” high pans and this is actually 2-½” high.The pan is well made and heavier duty than its main competitor. Unlike its competitors, it’s made in the USA and has a lifetime warranty. It did a great job baking. The cake came out of the greased pan, very nicely. This particular pan is described as being uncoated aluminum with natural nonstick performance, Another variation is advertised as actually having a nonstick interior.I feel I have to respond to many of the negative reviews. Too many complaints are NOT the fault of the manufacturer. The purpose of reviews is to help people who are considering purchasing the product to decide. As usual with many negative reviews on Amazon, there are complaints that have to do with damage from shipping as well as other things unrelated to the actual quality or performance of the product. I have purchased Nordic Ware from other sellers and never had a damaged product. Amazon is responsible for packaging the products and not shipping anything that was damaged. After that, damage is due to the shipper. Additionally, some of the reviews are for other products, so worthless. There are also negative reviews resulting from not reading the instructions and/or improper use of the pan—not the fault of the manufacturer.Several reviewers found fault with the pan discoloring in the dishwasher. One recent reviewer claimed there were no washing details unless the writing was “microscopic”. On the same page as this pan on Amazon, there is a Use and Care section that specifically advises to hand wash and not to put aluminum pans in the dishwasher or they will discolor. This is true for all aluminum pans. There was also a large cardstock insert with use and care instructions in fairly large print, that was as wide as the pan and literally stuck to the inside of the pan The reviewer who said no such instructions existed, must have just thrown this away without reading.This is a high quality product that performs well when used as recommended.

I used to bake in dark color pans (nonstick) and the heat distribution was awful. The edges were always overcooked before the center was done. This pan is perfection. The cake is always cooked evenly…no more overcooked/burned edges. The cake release easily and the cleaning is a breeze. I use it with and without parchment paper. I also bought the square pan of the same brand to make brownies and it is awesome. I clean it after each use and dry it right away…no rust at all.

Yes, but these. The right size for majority of recipes. Makes a great two layered cake. Good quality and bakes evenly. I'm so happy to have these! Worth every penny.Tip: prep these before first use to ensure there is no packaging residue (google how to do this)

I was researching cake pans (as you do), and Serious Eats had tested and rated a whole bunch of pans. This pan was the top pick for an 8” cake pan. They are a bit pricier than many of the alternatives but I decided to buy a couple and give them a try. I have to agree with Serious Eats; these pans are the bomb! I baked 4 cakes and they all cooked perfectly. I used parchment in the bottom of the pans (discovering you can buy pre-cut parchment discs was life changing— why did I never think to search for those before?) but I digress…… so I lined the base of the pans. When cooked the sides of the cake had pulled away just enough that the cakes released easily. These produced nice, evenly baked cakes. No hard, burnt pieces on the edges. Cake perfection.

Heavy duty, bakes very nicely, should last a lifetime. Sure, they don't nest, but you wouldn't expect straight sided pans to do so. Very happy. Highly recommend!

Pan is well made and heavy duty. Personally, I wish I would have bought the 8" size instead of 9". Sides are tall. I greased and floured the pan, but it was still hard to get out of the pan. Next time I will use parchment paper for the bottom of the pan. I bake from scratch and my recipe called for two 8" or 9" pans. I probably could have just put all my batter in one pan since the sides are tall.

These were my first 6" cake pans, and I'd never used aluminum before, but it comes recommended for cake baking. If you are using a cake mix from store, I divided the batter equally and baked in these for 43 minutes at 350 degrees. (A friend of mine who went to J&W recommends store cake mixes due to all the testing they do to make great cake --- why the frosting is so horrible I'll never know.) I used a white cake mix as I make a buttercream cake!

I like that the product was as described. They are very sturdy and appear to be able to last a long time even if you’re baking regularly.

Really Good Quality Baking Pans! Loved it!

These pans have a good weight to them and cakes bake evenly.

Love how easy they are to clean. Great quality.

Nordic ware es sin duda la mejor marca en moldes.
