Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Nonstick 6 Cavity Donut Pan
Customer Review: Perfect Donuts!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best kitchen purchase I have ever made! I regularly make vegan donuts, and have always struggled with achieving the conventional donut form. With this pan, you simply spoon your batter in the molds and 10 minutes later, you have perfect donuts! I recommend spraying a bit of cooking spray into the molds to ease pulling the donuts out - with this method you're guaranteed to get perfect donuts with nothing sticking in th pan! I will be purchasing another one so I can make a dozen at a time!Customer Review: baked vegan donuts

Works perfectly. You just have to try a few times to figure out how full to fill the pan. Then your donuts are perfection.Customer Review: Perfect donuts!

The shipment came fairly quickly and the pan is great! No sticking and the donuts came out great! I would definitely recommend. The recipe I made came out to taste more like muffins, so this pan can be used for both!Customer Review: Not as healthy as you might think
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this pan a few weeks ago. I got it under the impression that a baked donut would surely have less calories and fat than it's deep fat fried version. Well I got the pan and tried the recipe that came with it. The donuts that came out of this pan were "ok", good enough to enjoy a donut without all the guilt anyway. Then I figured out the calorie information for the donut and I was rather shocked. With no toppings, glaze, or ANYTHING added to the donut the baked donut clocks in at 219 calories and 9 grams of fat. That might not sound bad until you look up Krispy Kreme and see that their glazed donut is only 200 calories and 12 grams of fat. Dunkin' Donuts has even fewer calories.
My attempts to lower the baked donuts calorie content resulted in donuts that had a bland taste and bad texture. Tonite I made regular deep fat fried donuts to take to work with me, and I measured the oil I used before and after making the donuts to determine how much of the oil was absorbed by the donut. The deep fat fried donut (WITH sugar coating) ended up having only 5 more calories per donut and 2 grams LESS fat than the baked plain version. While these pans are technically good pans, and they perform as advertised, I wouldn't recomend them to anyone that's considering them for a "healthier" donut. I'm packing my pans up, and when I want the occassional treat I'll go for the real thing.

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!
