Kaiser Bakeware La Forme Star Pan

Product Review

Each piece of La Forme bakeware is designed with the finest materials available to guarantee perfect performance. After extensive product research, Kaiser selected steel as the base material for the entire La Forme Collection. The steel base is coated with one of two nonstick surface systems, depending on the intended use of the piece. In an oven, where the temperature can fluctuate up to 50 degrees in a normal baking cycle, the ideal baking vessel should retain heat well enough to maintain an even temperature. Yet, it should not retain heat so well that a cake, bread or cookie will burn in the time required for complete baking. Kaiser chose heavy-gauge steel as the base material for the La Forme collection, because it conducts heat gently and evenly, and produces the perfect balance necessary for a golden brown crumb or outside of the cake, and a perfectly baked, moist interior. Cakes and breads baked in La Forme cook uniformly, and cookies baked on La Forme cookie sheets brown evenly and maintain their shape. La Formes heavy-gauge steel eliminates warping in every piece of bakeware. Select La Forme pans are manufactured with the cut- and acid-resistant Magnum coating. This allows baked goods to be cut in the pan. Features: Star-shaped form for holiday cakes and dessert molds Made of heavy-gauge .8mm steel Measures 11 inches across Made in Germany 5-year limited warranty

Over the winter holiday season, during patriotic holidays, and for any occasion that celebrates a star in your life, you'll appreciate the Kaiser LaForme star pan. This 11-inch cake pan is shaped as a six-pointed star, with an intricate central ray pattern. Its special "double nonstick" surface has a two-layer nonstick interior and exterior coating. Your cake will release perfectly, with a minimum of buttering, no flouring, and no need for cutting or scraping to maneuver the cake from the form. The shape and the patterning will remain intact during removal, without the skin that appears on cakes baked with floured pans. Therefore, the pan is appropriate for both frosted cakes and cakes such as sponge cake or spiced coffeecake that will remain unfrosted, dusted with confectioner's sugar, or lightly drizzled. Commercial steel promotes even baking and insulates for a shorter cooking time. Can be used as a mold for gelatins and pâté. Makes a thoughtful gift for an avid cake baker. Hand washing recommended. Comes with recipe booklet and care instructions. --Carol Gnojewski
