"This original Bundt pan is our very first bundt pan design from the 50's. The full size 12 cup Bundt pan is made from cast aluminum that heats evenly for perfect cake texture and color. Our sturdy cast aluminum provides superior baking performance. The pan is non-stick coated for easy release and clean-up. Bakes elegant, picture-perfect cakes with ease in a shape loved by millions. The pan can be used for many Bundt recipes, pull-a-part bread, monkey bread as well as being a great jello mold. Use with a bakers non-stick spray (flour-based) to help release easily. We recommend that the pan be hand washed to help extend the life of the non-stick coating.."--from Amazon.com.
