Setup
- Initial Cleaning: Before the first use, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Preheating: Place the pan over medium heat on your stovetop. Allow the pan to preheat for a few minutes.
- Greasing: Before each use, lightly brush the interior of each pan cavity with unsalted vegetable shortening or oil. This ensures optimal nonstick performance.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to prepare pancakes or other small round items using your Nordic Ware pan:
- Prepare Batter: Use your preferred pancake or blini batter recipe.
- Fill Cavities: Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter into each pan cavity. Avoid overfilling.
- Cook First Side: Cook until the center of the pancakes shows bubbles and the edges appear golden brown.
- Flipping: Using a non-metal utensil (such as wooden skewers, chopsticks, a small silicone spatula, or a plastic fork), carefully flip each pancake into an adjacent empty cavity or onto the cooked side.
- Cook Second Side: Continue cooking until a toothpick inserted into the center of a pancake comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended for this pan. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
- Drying: Dry the pan thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its finish.
- Storage: Store the pan in a dry location.
Troubleshooting
- Pancakes Sticking: If pancakes are sticking to the pan, ensure that the pan was properly greased with unsalted vegetable shortening or oil before adding batter. Also, confirm that the pan was preheated to medium heat. Insufficient greasing or improper temperature can lead to sticking.
