Norpro Square Cupcake Pan

While you can use square parchment liners if you find them, standard round cupcake liners will not fit properly in the square cavities. Because the pan features a high-quality nonstick coating, you generally do not need liners for easy release.

To preserve the nonstick surface, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or metal utensils, as these can scratch and degrade the coating over time.

Yes, the cavities are designed to accommodate standard muffin and brownie batter volumes. However, keep in mind that square corners can sometimes cause batter to bake slightly faster than in round pans, so you may want to check for doneness a few minutes early.

While some manufacturers claim dishwasher safety, we strongly recommend hand washing this pan. Dishwasher detergents are often harsh and can strip the nonstick coating, significantly shortening the lifespan of the bakeware.

Absolutely. The square shape is excellent for baking individual brownies, blondies, mini cornbreads, or even savory egg bites. The uniform shape makes it a great tool for portion-controlled desserts or appetizers.
