5. The vibratory deburring machine tosses the pan around in hundreds of pebbles that vibrate against the pan to create the ideal surface for the nonstick coating to adhere.
6. The uncoated pan is washed to remove manufacturing oil, metal shavings, and fingerprints. This helps the nonstick coating adhere. From this point on, pans are handled with latex gloves.
7. A nonstick coating is applied to the exterior of the pan. Then the pan travels down a conveyor belt to the curing oven.
8. The oven permanently bakes the coating onto the pan. Then the entire coating process is repeated for the inside of the pan.
9. The pan gets handpacked and labeled. Each packing label includes the phrase “Made in America.”
I love Nordic Ware. I have about 8 different Bundt pans, and have made padded bags to protect them. I also have a couple of cake pans, specialty bread pans, and utensils. Grandkids love to bake and make a different shaped Bundt cake for the different seasons. Great product.
I als love my Nordic cake pans. They are so easy to bake and just add powders sugar or a glaze and you are done. I always add a box of intant pudding mix to the cake mix. It add so much.
This is interesting, clearly a challenging process that they do a great job with.
The biggest challenge for me is properly greasing the inside of a pan to ensure my ‘creation’ doesn’t stick. What does Nordic say about the best way to do this?
I took a cooking class at the Nordic Ware factory in St. Louis Park, MN and they said to brush it with melted and slightly cooled butter and a pastry brush. If you don’t like the look or final product of dusting it with flour, try coca powder or superfine sugar. Works for me every time!
I use Bakers Joy cooking spray with flour in it. Works like a charm!!
Just bought my first Bundt Ware pan. I was delighted at the weight and quality of this pan. I am so happy that I invested in this product, and have now ordered 4 more pans. The recipes are wonderful as well.
I collect them and have many, love them!
When I first started baking again, I invested in a good Bundt pan and read many of my favorite baking sites for great recipes. It turns out that nearly everyone suggested using Baker’s Joy or a similar baking spray with flour. However, the real key is to spray and then use a pastry brush on the entire inner surfaces to be certain every cranny is coated. Years and several Bundt pans later, I have never had sticking or a malformed cake. Follow these directions and your recipe. Your Bundt cake will come out of the pan perfect and amazing.
