All of the Platinum Collection pans come with a limited lifetime warranty but these pans are so durable that I doubt you will ever use it. I had this same pan that I bought from W@lm@rt for much less and I was disappointed with it from the start. It always stuck and seemed to bake uneven. So I went online, did some research and found out that Nordicware makes the same pans in different qualities. I had bought a cheap one. I ordered a Platinum from Amazon and I've not regretted it once. I have used this pan for muffins at least 50 times and I've never lost a batch to uneven baking or sticking. I have since ordered them as gifts.

These pans are a terrific addition to a baker's kitchen. Easy to use, easy clean-up. Non-stick for sure! I used them instead of a big bundt pan to make individual cakes. Perfect for the holidays! If your cake normally takes about an hour, plan to bake in these small pans for 15 or so mins. I was able to get ~36 individual cakes from one recipe.

I've owned this pan for 20 years and am buying one for each of my daughters. With spray oil, it makes muffins crusty on all sides and tender inside. Children love the shapes even without icing which makes it great for young birthday parties. For cupcakes it makes lovely mini pumpkins and other seasonal shapes. After 20 years of use mine is still great.

I am so sorry to say that I fell in love with this pan. I am a veteran baker, and have baked in regular bundt pans for decades with xlnt results. Trust that I know my way around a bundt! For some reason this pan worked early on. After that, everything would stick; from simple mini cinnamon bundt cakes to angel food. I always washed it by hand (which took forever after soaking) and there were no scratches. Whether I would grease it or grease & flour it or pam it to death, things would stick to the tiny ridges and the whole cake was impossible to exricate. It was a nightmare & I am extremely patient. I "stuck" with it for about 5 years. I am writing now bec I lost it with this last batch that left as much stuck to the pan as out. I didn't even bother cleaning it this time; it's in the trash. So sad too, it is just so adorable. Sorry to say something bad about Nordic Ware.

I was getting ready to fry a batch of potato latkes (pancakes) for Hanukkah and it occurred to me that I did not want all that fried food for dinner, so I took out my Nordicware brownie pan, as yet unused, and decided to try it. With a spray of canola oil in each cup, they came out easily and perfectly shaped. It is a long way different from my usual, but I think they look pretty and will make an impression on my guests without all of the frying.
I am now inspired to think of other ways of using this delightful pan.

This pan makes great pumpkins for a fall cake. Make sure you spray it well with bakers joy or any other non stick product. Wash it by hand. It made beautiful little pumpkins for my son's first birthday party.

I got this pan to make mini pumpkins for my sons' birthdays at school instead of the usual cupcake. They came out great!

I fell in love with the mini-bundt cake pan. The shape alone takes away the monotony of the ordinary cupcake as it has its own unique shape - no frills needed. The shape alone dresses up a plain muffin and enhances the temptation to grab a brownie because of the unique shape. I have shared this treasure with two friends who have enjoyed the same pleasure of watching the faces of their family and guests rave over the end results. Luv it.

I was so happy with my first use of this professional quality pan. It's heavy and cooks evenly. With a good shot of spray coating in each cup before pouring the batter, the cooked cakes flipped out easily and were nicely browned and detailed. With proper care, I think this pan will be around for 10 years or more. I also cooked half a pan, filling the remaining cups half full of water and got equally good results. I would highly recommend this pan as a classy alternative to the standard cup cake fare.

Pan is exactly as described. This pan is made in the USA which I did not realize but makes it an extra nice purchase. The cakes come out of the pan very easily and with all the detail I was hoping for.
