What is a Bundt Pan?
The name “Bundt” was coined and trademarked by Nordic Ware’s co-founder, Dave Dalquist, to describe the fluted design of the company’s unique ring cake pan. This original Bundt® Pan featured a distinctive hole in the center that allowed cakes to bake evenly, and an elegant symmetry that made cutting and serving easy. Now, Nordic Ware proudly makes 50+ Bundt® Pans and variations at their Minneapolis Factory.
What are Bundt® Pans made out of?
All Nordic Ware Bundt® Pans are made of high-quality cast aluminum, ensuring even heat distribution, resulting in a perfectly baked Bundt® every time.
What is the nonstick material on Bundt® Pans?
Nordic Ware uses a silicone-based nonstick coating made without PFAS on our cast aluminum bakeware. Our Bundt® Pans are proudly designed and made in the USA for careful quality control.
What utensils can I use on these pans?
We recommend silicone spatulas, nylon and wooden utensils if necessary. Metal utensils, scouring pads and abrasive cleaners should not be used on nonstick surfaces.
Do I need to prep Bundt® pans before baking?
Yes, we recommend prepping Bundt® and cakes pan with BAKING SPRAY, which is a spray that has flour in it already, such as “Baker’s Joy” or “Pam for Baking.” For pans with intricate designs, a baking spray works well to get into all the nooks and crannies. Spray just before putting the batter in the pan, and spray thoroughly but not too heavily. Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the pan and all the details. For another prepping technique, apply a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening (such as “Crisco”) or softened butter, then dust the surface lightly with flour. For cakes with a darker exterior like chocolate, dust with cocoa powder.
Can I prep Bundt® Pans with cooking spray?
We recommend only using baking spray with flour in it. Please do NOT use a regular cooking spray because it tends to leave a sticky residue on the pan, and the cake may stick. The residue left on the pan may be very difficult to clean completely.
Can I wash Bundt® Pans in the dishwasher?
We recommend hand washing for all of Nordic Ware baking pans. They may be soaked in hot soapy water, and washed with a textured scrubber, sponge or cloth that is safe for non-stick coatings. You may also use a plastic bristled brush. Avoid extended soaking. In stubborn cases, you may use a special cleaner that can get rid of sticky residue such as DAWN Power Wash. Watch full Bundt® cleaning video here. Avoid automatic dishwashers as the detergent is very caustic and can damage the pan’s nonstick coating.
How do I best care and store Bundt® Pans?
Follow our cleaning suggestions every time you use your Bundt® Pans to ensure residue does not build up and keep your pans shiny. For storage, we recommend using a light fabric layer between pans if stacking. Or use our Bundt Storage Bags to keep pans clean and scratch-free.
