Nordic Ware Shortbread Pan

While the pan features a non-stick coating, we recommend lightly brushing it with melted butter or a non-stick baking spray. This ensures the intricate flower and fruit details release perfectly every time.

Yes, the pan is suitable for any dense dough or batter that holds its shape well, such as sugar cookie dough or even certain savory cornbread recipes. Avoid using thin, runny cake batters, as they may not capture the fine details of the designs.

Hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the non-stick surface and damage the delicate mold patterns.

Cast aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, which promotes uniform browning across all nine cavities. This material helps ensure your shortbread bakes evenly from the edges to the center, resulting in a consistent, crisp texture.

While the pan is durable, we recommend hand washing it to maintain the integrity of the non-stick coating and the precision of the cast aluminum designs. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh and may shorten the lifespan of the non-stick finish.
