Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nordic Ware Pro Cast Castle Bundt Pan
Customer Review: Great Pan, Wish it Came with more Guidance
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband saw this pan in the store where it was priced $40.00. We decided that was a bit expensive for a pan we'd probably never use. Still he couldn't get over how cool he thought it was.
I found it on Amazon.com for significantly less and decided to buy it as a surprise to make his birthday cake in (he was thrilled). We've since used it to make cakes for guests, or at random moments, and we're about to make a "Ginger Cake Castle" to bring to his family's holiday party.
Other than the birthday cake, which I made from scratch, we've used boxed cake mixes and had great success.
Baker's Joy spray (nonstick spray containing flour) makes it a snap to get the cake out. Just give the inside of the pan a light spray all over before you add the batter (don't overdo it or you lose some of the castle details).
I let the finished cake cool for about 10 minutes before flipping the pan over on a wire rack, then I let it cool the rest of the way in the pan (overnight, usually) and give it a slight shake to release. I've been told I should release it after the first 10 minutes, but then I'm afraid the cake will go stale or get wrecked if I try to cover it before it's completely cooled off. It seems to work fine for me to leave it in the pan until completely cooled.
My only complaint is that I had a hard time locating some information about how much to fill it (2/3 to 3/4 seems to be the best). Most recipes seem to be for larger Bundt pans, so it was tricky. They should have supplied this basic information, and maybe a cake recipe, with the pan.
I haven't read the other reviews yet, but in case it hasn't been mentioned, the Betty Crocker website has a few recipes with some cute decorating ideas (it's where we got the inspiration for our Ginger Cake Castle plan).
Oh, and we haven't been successful at getting the cake to rise perfectly enough that we can see every last detail at the bottom of the finished cake (where the stairs and foundation rocks are) -- but we sure are having fun trying!
Description of Nordic Ware Pro Cast Castle Bundt Pan
Reminiscent of a quaint woodsy lodge, the Fairytale Cottage pan by Nordic Ware is fun all year round. The crisp, clean detailing is made possible by heavy-duty cast aluminum pan construction. Proudly made in the USA by Nordic Ware.This magical castle pan from NordicWare's Platinum baking series is an imaginative addition to the company's novelty bundt collection. Featuring a great door with a stone entryway, tall corner towers, and high fortress walls (a clever disguise for the center tube), the pan transforms 10 cups of cake batter into a realistic medieval building. What a fun cake shape for a birthday boy! Bakers will love the heavyweight cast aluminum construction for its gentle, balanced heating that produces deliciously moist centers and lightly browned crusts. The pan also features a nonstick interior for easy food release and a heat-reflective exterior to prevent edges from overcooking and burning. Especially durable and warp-resistant, every detail on the pan transfers clearly to the baked good- so bring out the decorating tools and get creative. A narrow outside rim facilitates flipping and carrying. Measuring 9-3/4 inches square by approximately 4-1/2 inches high, this pan is best washed by hand to ensure years of quality service. It is made in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. --Kara Karll
