Amazon.com Review

This adorable gingerbread loaf pan from NordicWare's Platinum baking series brings extra festivity to seasonal breads and cakes. Shaped like a scallop-edged present with a ribbon bow and two gingerbread doll toppers, the pan transforms 10 cups of batter into it's own self-wrapped gift. Bakers will love the heavyweight cast aluminum construction for its gentle, balanced heating that produces deliciously moist centers and lightly browned crusts. The pan also features a nonstick interior for easy food release and a heat-reflective exterior to prevent edges from overcooking and burning. Especially durable and warp-resistant, every detail on the pan transfers clearly to the baked good--from the creases in the ribbon to the dolls' big smiles. Two end handles and a narrow rim make for easy flipping and carrying. Measuring 10-3/4 by 5-1/2 by 2-5/8 inches, this pan is best washed by hand to ensure years of quality service. It is made in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. --Kara Karll

5.0 out of 5 stars Loaf Pan with a Big Impact, January 27, 2010

The gingerbread figures are festive and the finished loaf cake/quick bread is a lovely addition to any holiday table. I always use a gingerbread recipe with this pan, but a spice cake or even pumpkin bread would work well, too. The enclosed gingerbread recipe is a winner but even a boxed gingerbread mix works well.

Coat the inside of the pan thoroughly with a cooking spray that contains flour, like Bakers Joy to ensure ease in unmolding. Turn the pan upside down on paper towels so the excess drains out while the batter is being prepared. After removing the pan from the oven let it rest for ten minutes (no longer) on a cooling rack before unmolding. With these steps I have never had a problem with cake sticking to the pan.

Using only small pieces of items like nuts, candied ginger or chocolate chips (mini chips) work best as they stay suspended in the cake rather than sinking to the bottom obscuring the gingerbread people design. Also, before putting the pan in the oven, give it a good whack on the counter to release any air bubbles in the batter so all areas of the design are as prominent as possible.

This is a pan that shouldn't be put in the dishwasher because the non-stick coating will be adversely affected. Also, no metal utensils or harsh scouring pads should be used and with those precautions taken, the pan should last a lifetime. This deeply embossed pan is always fun to unmold -- the beautiful result is so satisfying. The pan is so special I included it in a holiday package sent to several far away relatives along with a boxed gingerbread mix.

My family LOVES gingerbread. My mother sent this pan to me as a gift, and on the day that I received it, I baked a loaf, using the recipe that came with it. Cleaning it out is very detail-intensive, but not as much as it is on some of the other Nordicware pans.

Do make certain you do a good job greasing and flouring the pan, or else when you depan the loaf, it will come out in pieces. Aside from one such fiasco, I've had over a half-dozen successful sessions of baking with this pan.

Cute loaf pan. As with all of my Nordic Ware pans, I used Crisco vegetable shortening and a pastry brush to lightly coat the interior of the pan. The gingerbread released without a problem, and showed beautiful detail. I used a boxed gingerbread mix. Clean up was easy, just hot, soapy water and a soft, nonabrasive dishcloth.
