How do I use Nordic Ware's baking pans?

Before using your baking pan for the first time, it should be hand-washed with warm water and detergent.
When it's time to bake, thoroughly grease your Nordic Ware baking pan, preferably with a pastry brush to get into all the details. Dust with flour or cocoa powder so that the butter is covered. Fill the pan up to ¾ full with batter to reduce the risk of overflow during baking.
For best results, let the cake rest for about 10 minutes before turning the pan upside down to remove the cake.
Avoid sharp metal objects that can scratch the coating.
