I have used this Bundt cake pan more than two dozen times with perfect results every time. I also have the more expensive "Platinum" series pan and besides the lighter construction of this pan, there doesn't seem to be any difference in the cake it produces. I have used both pans at the same time, in the same oven, and the cakes come out the same. Additionally, whether merely greased, or greased and floured, the cakes release easily and they clean up easily with hand washing. I have never turned out a flawed cake with this pan and I expect it will last and oerform well for years.

Being used to the super heavy-duty cast aluminum Nordic bundt pans, I was a little skeptical that this "cheaper" version would work as well, but it does! My cakes come out beautifully baked and release easily, and this design is easy to handwash. Although it's not as sturdy as the cast aluminum ones, it's still built more solidly built than many of the bundt cake pans out there by other brands. And at less than half the cost of a cast aluminum bundt pan, but with similar performance, this pan is a steal.

I got this pan. I was surprised at how sturdy and heavy it was. I greased & floured it and the cake slid right out. Baked evenly and no hot spots. Very impressive. This is a good quality that I'm sure that it will last for years to come and will even get to pass it along down the family. I am even considering getting the other designs.

Still works like new.

Despite a couple of bad reviews here, I have never had a single problem with this pan, and I have been using it for about 3 years. Whether both greasing and flouring the pan, or just greasing it lightly, my cakes have always come right out without any sticking. The pan cooks evenly, and the resulting cake is a very attractive, classic bundt. That's why I bought it, in fact, because it looks just like the one my mother always had! Cleanup was fine, just what I'd expect for a bundt pan. It isn't heavy, but it's a decent weight, and I haven't had any problems with the nonstick coating coming off, either.

I love to make pound cakes with this bundt pan. They always come out perfectly shaped. I do recommend greasing and flouring the pan, but I've never experienced any problems getting my cakes to come out perfectly.

I have used this pan for making rum cake. The first pan I had was only 10 C and the cake overflowed. This pan worked well and the cake came out without any problems.

I RECEIVED THIS BUNDT PAN RIGHT ON TIME, ALL MY CAKES HAVE COME OUT OF THE OVEN PERFECT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT MORE FOR GIFTS.

I have used this pan 3 times. Each and everytime I have used this cake pan a nightmare to remove the cake. I have used extra grease, cooked it more slowly and tried various methods to try and enjoy this pan. I absolutely do not recommend this product. It is a terrible bundt pan. I have placed it in the trash can for proper burial. What a waste of good money. Seriously very unsatisfied with this product.

This is a very sturdy cake pan. It is definately not like the cheap, dime store cookware. It has yet to scratch & I use it regularly & treat it not too tenderly. It seems to brown the cakes quicker than other lighter weight bundt pans I have had in my life, so be careful when choosing the temp. on your oven. I lower mine for this pan. It will last me a long time I'm sure, unlike other cheaper, lighter bundt pans I've had in my time. A bit pricey, but worth the investment if you bake a lot.

I got this as a gift for my Mom. She makes the best pound cakes in the world, now she also makes the prettiest. She raves about this pan, how it never ever sticks. She tells everyone about it and how consistently well it bakes cakes. I can't wait to get the Sand Castle version of this pan for her!
