GADGETS & GIZMOS

Pampered Chef’s Mini Fluted Cake Pan is ideal for individual cakes and other molded desserts.

The carbon-steel pan is sturdy, yet lightweight, and its nonstick coating makes unmolding the cakes a breeze — especially if you do it while the cakes are still warm — and cleanup is as simple as a warm, damp sponge. The cheerful blue enamel coating makes this one pan you won’t mind keeping on display.

Converting recipes may seem a bit tricky at first, but an easy guide is a standard box of cake mix or recipe for a 12-cup Bundt pan will make 12 mini cakes using this pan. For best results, fill each well no more than two-thirds full. Bake time varies by recipe, but most bake in about 20 minutes. Oven-safe to 450 degrees. For best results, don’t use baking spray as it can leave a hard-to-clean residue. Hand-wash.
