Operating Instructions

Follow these guidelines for optimal baking results with your Cuisinart cake pan:

• Preheating: Always preheat your oven to the specified temperature in your recipe.
• Greasing/Flouring: While the pan is nonstick, lightly greasing and flouring (or using parchment paper) is recommended for delicate recipes or for extra assurance of easy release.
• Filling: Fill the pan with your cake batter according to your recipe's instructions, typically no more than two-thirds full to allow for rising.
• Baking Temperature: The pan is oven safe up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius). Do not exceed this temperature.
• Cooling: After baking, allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for the time specified in your recipe, usually 10-15 minutes, before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: The Cuisinart cake pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to prolong the life of the nonstick coating. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Drying: Dry the pan thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its finish.
• Storage: Store the pan in a dry place. If stacking, place a soft cloth or paper towel between pans to protect the nonstick surface.
• Utensils: Use only nylon, wooden, or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick coating. Metal utensils can damage the surface.

Troubleshooting Common Baking Issues

• Cake Sticking: Ensure the pan was adequately greased and floured (or lined with parchment paper) before adding batter. Allow the cake to cool sufficiently in the pan before attempting to remove it.
• Uneven Baking: Verify your oven temperature with an oven thermometer. Ensure the pan is placed in the center of the oven rack for even heat circulation.
• Warping: The Cuisinart pan is designed with rolled edges to resist warping. Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum recommended oven temperature of 450°F (232°C).
