FarmSteady Doughnut Pan

Yes, the silicone construction is versatile enough for various baked goods, including mini cakes or savory bagel-style rings. Just keep in mind that the standard cavity size is specifically optimized for traditional cake doughnut recipes.

While the silicone surface is naturally non-stick, a light coating of cooking spray or butter is recommended for more delicate batters. This ensures a flawless release and helps maintain the crisp edges of your doughnuts.

The pan is flexible due to its silicone material, which makes popping the doughnuts out very easy. For stability, we recommend placing the pan on a flat baking sheet before filling it so you can move it into the oven without spilling the batter.

The pan is dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is the best way to preserve the silicone surface over time. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or sharp metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick finish.

Silicone heats more gradually than metal, which often results in a soft, uniform crumb. If you prefer a slightly crispier exterior, you can increase your oven temperature by 10-15 degrees or bake for a few minutes longer than a metal pan recipe suggests.
