Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 6-Count Nonstick Donut Pan
Customer Review: Good For You Donuts
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I were craving donuts - but cannot have the fat and cholesterol that deep fried ones have. We decided to try a couple of these pans and they were very easy. I scooped the dough in - cleaned and moved the dough off the middle - which was easier than using a pastry or plastic bag, as the recipe stated. I used a recipe off the internet that had whole wheat pastry flour, applesauce, a little egg and oil - very good. I melted a little dark chocolate and added some chocolate ice cream sauce (for easier spreading) for the frosting. Everything was organic and lower in fat - we enjoyed them and didn't feel guilty about it!
There was only one minor item - one of the pans came a little dented in the rim. This didn't effect the shape of the donuts since the donut shape part was fine - they were probably dented in Amazon's storage or shipment. It wasn't worth sending it back, worked fine.
Customer Review: Great product - love baked doughnuts!

I wasn't sure how much I would use this pan but I have a cooking blog and I read a lot of other ones and I kept seeing yummy looking recipes for baked doughnuts, so I decided to get one. This was a great purchase! So far I've made Spice Doughnuts, Strawberry Doughnuts and Lemon Poppy Seed Doughnuts and they've all turned out delicious. I lightly mist the pan with cooking spray before filling with batter and the doughnuts slide out perfectly after baking. I've never had any trouble spooning the batter into the spaces, which you should fill about 2/3 full to get perfect sized doughnuts. Every recipe I've made so far with this has been quick and easy and it was nice to be able to bring healthier doughnuts to work instead of the fried kind. Great product!Customer Review: Just need the right recipe...

I got this pan as a gift and it is wonderful... The donuts came out perfect shape. The donuts came right off the pan clean up was a breeze. They baked in the oven perfectly no problems. The donut pans are light weight but durable. This is a good pan you just need the right donut recipe...
I sprayed it with cooking oil and put the chocolate donut batter (the one that was on the label) into the pan. I glazed them and tried them... they were cake-like donuts, alright thought half of my family liked them and the other half did not go for them.
If anyone has a good donut recipe any flavor please share in the comments... THANKS!!!

I LOVE this pan! I have also bought 'cheaper' versions and found them to be far inferior. The cheaper pans have a seam ridge on the top around each donut cavity that catches batter and snags cleaning cloths. They are much thinner and lighter than this pan and therefore do not heat as evenly. Also the donut cavities in the cheaper versions are not as deep and the hole maker is much smaller, resulting in a donut that is not 'pleasing to the eye' and looks more like a cookie with a small hole in the middle. This pan cooks evenly every time and the donuts come out looking 'professional' and deliciously tempting! I highly recommend this pan!Customer Review: a good purchase

I really like this product and I'm happy that I ordered two of them. It's heavy duty and cleans easily. I have never hsd anything stick to it. I am liberal with the cooking spray. I'm having fun experimenting with a few different recipes. You have to remember that these are baked donuts not fried.Also, when putting the batter into the pan, take a medium bowl, put in a gallon plastic bag that overlaps the sides,put the batter in and snip a small hole in the corner. Using this inexpensive type of pastry bag makes putting the batter in the pan, a breeze and no mess. I'm very glad that I made this purchase.
