The “a winner” looks like a Lodge?
I would like to see a segment on how best use a bundt pan and various sauces and creams to serve with them.
I presses the link it's not 39. Dollars but 60.00 where can I purchase it for the said price from this video???
Amazon has another by the same company that is $20.00 dollars other than the "anniversary" label and color makes no difference both have the same capacity twelve cups. Do they use more material to make the anniversary, I don't know, if they say the only difference was the ridges, the $20.00 has it.
That wasn't very informative, please discuss all the pans you tested not just the winner.
https://youtu.be/ceO4ulagexA RIP Ms Jeanne Robertson! Bow your head!The Nordic Ware Anniversary pan is THE ONE!!!!! Left Brain passed also.
Darker nonstick is going to give any cake the dome effect and burnt edges when compared to lighter nonstick, stainless steel or aluminum. It will not give you anything near a professional result. There is definitely a difference in the quality of the finished product.
Lodge cast iron bundt cake pans are all I use!!
Always look to ATK for recipes, tests on equipment…..love TV show!
I remember watching this show at my grandmas during the summer 🥰 now look at me: getting tips and tricks from them! Thanks
Would like to have seen a cast iron pan added to the mix for comparison. Like the recent Lodge one (or vintage if you can find one).
Hello
What I don't like about these tests by America's Test Kitchens is that very often they are careful to test only certain brands, so that the test results are pre-determined. Testing a wider sample of the better products wou!d give different results.
Can you guys please test the best microwave?
Happy 4th July

I have a bundt pan that was my Mom's. She bought it back in the seventies. I want to use the bundt pan to make a lemon bundt cake with lemon glaze to pour over it. It is a Nordic bundt pan.
I own the winner and it is awesome
Didn't see a BLACK IRON LODGE Bundt in that lineup !! Was thinkin bout gettin one ? what do ya think of it !?!
It's pronounced 'Booondt'. I learned that from my big fat greek wedding.😑
I use that bundt pan and its great. I only use the recipe from Americas Test Kitchen that is out of this world. Thanks and keep up the great testing!
What about ceramic pans?
Thanks for the research, but I wonder: Are silicone bundt pans so clearly inferior that they weren’t worth putting into the mix?
Wow, I'm going to try using my Bundt pan to make the layered Meat Loaf from the 1956 Pillsbury Family Cookbook. It's our fave recipe for meatloaf.
I enjoy my Lodge cast iron bundt pan
you missed out on including a cast iron bunt
I'm so excited for this video, especially since the Apple cake video just a couple days ago! Perfect timing!
This is my go-to site for equipment reviews. Thanks.
Glad to see Adam still around. He performs great reviews! MORE!
I like big bundts and I can not lie…
I’ll only buy Nordic Ware Bundt Pans. I love them, the big boys, the adorable mini ones! The Holiday specialty shapes, the Gold colored pans. I love them more than designer shoes! Then again, I’m a little weird. 😂🤣😂
Nordic Ware owns the Bundt name. All others are fluted pans…which means all those pans were Nordic Ware.
I have a Lodge cast iron bundt pan that works great & cakes never stick! Also anytime I hear bundt cake I immediately think of the scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding! 🤣
You guys are awesome! Always enjoy the info. Will u please do a sous vide cooker test? It's hard to know which one is a good pick. You always have a good selection to test from and are fair and accurate in your tests. Thanks in advance!
I knew it was Nordic Ware when I saw the bundt cake, they make amazing cookware.
Effectively what you're saying, though, is I should choose my bundt pan based on the shape and the price. Sure thirty dollars makes for good ridges, but if I just want a tasty cake regardless of shape I'm going with the cheapest option.
The man who founded Nordic Ware invented the bundt pan in 1950 at the request of a Jewish women's group. It became popular because of the Tunnel of Fudge Cake, and they've now sold more than 50 million bundt pans. I'm not educated about cookware or anything, I just wiki'd it.
can you make bread in that pan?
