Nordic Ware Pro Form Heavyweight 12 Cup Bundt Pan

I have used this Bundt cake pan more than two dozen times with perfect results every time. I also have the more expensive "Platinum" series pan and besides the lighter construction of this pan, there doesn't seem to be any difference in the cake it produces. I have used both pans at the same time, in the same oven, and the cakes come out the same. Additionally, whether merely greased, or greased and floured, the cakes release easily and they clean up easily with hand washing. I have never turned out a flawed cake with this pan and I expect it will last and oerform well for years.

Being used to the super heavy-duty cast aluminum Nordic bundt pans, I was a little skeptical that this "cheaper" version would work as well, but it does! My cakes come out beautifully baked and release easily, and this design is easy to handwash. Although it's not as sturdy as the cast aluminum ones, it's still built more solidly built than many of the bundt cake pans out there by other brands. And at less than half the cost of a cast aluminum bundt pan, but with similar performance, this pan is a steal.

I got this pan. I was surprised at how sturdy and heavy it was. I greased & floured it and the cake slid right out. Baked evenly and no hot spots. Very impressive. This is a good quality that I'm sure that it will last for years to come and will even get to pass it along down the family. I am even considering getting the other designs.

Still works like new.
