Use

• Before each use, wash pan with hot, soapy water.
• Oven safe to 450°F.
• Use only wood, silicone, plastic or other nonmetallic utensils to avoid scratching the surface.
• For best results, brush pan with an unsalted solid vegetable shortening and dust with flour. You can also use vegetable oil or a nonstick baking spray. If using a spray, check to make sure that it does not contain lecithin, which can cause a gummy residue. Turn pan upside down and tap to remove excess flour. These steps will help ensure easy release and excellent pattern definition.
• After baking, cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Tap pan firmly a few times, then invert, lift pan away and let the cake continue to cool on rack.

Care

• Hand-wash. Dry thoroughly.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners such as metal scouring pads, as they can damage the surface.
• A soft sponge or kitchen brush will remove baked-on food particles. You may need to scrub lightly.
