Nordic Ware Cast Aluminum Shortcake Basket Pan

Comments about Nordic Ware Cast Aluminum Shortcake Basket Pan:

I have quite a few Nordic Ware pans and this one is my favorite by far! I make very healthy "muffins"---savory and sweet---for my family. Since they're healthy, and not so rich with fat shortening and sugar, I paid up for pans that add visual appeal. It works like a charm! With a little research and experimentation, I've been able to make sugar-free, gluten-free, lowfat muffins (try mashed sweet potatoes in place of shortening!) that my family loves.

One of my favorite combinations is a cornmeal muffin made with blue or yellow cornmeal, buckwheat flour (instead of regular) and sunflower seeds. I make these in quantity and freeze them. When I want a quick dinner, I unthaw and warm them in the oven, while poaching a couple eggs on the stove. A poached egg looks yummy in the center---top with a couple tablespoons of salsa and shredded Mexican cheese....mmmmmmm, yummy. Quick and appetizing!

I think these pans likely get underused for savory purposes.
