What kind of cake is this form best suited for?
This Kastenform is versatile and great for baking a variety of cakes and breads. It's particularly well-suited for dense cakes, breads, and loaves where even baking is important.
Is this form suitable for making traditional Scandinavian Kasten cake?
Yes, this Kastenform is designed specifically for baking traditional Scandinavian Kasten cake and other similar recipes. Its shape and aluminum construction are ideal for achieving even baking.
Can I use this form with parchment paper?
Yes, you can definitely use parchment paper in this form. It’s a great way to prevent sticking and make removing your baked goods easier.
What is the difference between natural aluminum and anodized aluminum?
Natural aluminum, like the material used in this Kastenform, is pure aluminum that doesn't require an additional coating. It's naturally rust-resistant and offers excellent heat conductivity. Anodized aluminum has undergone an electrochemical process to create a protective layer, but it doesn't offer the same level of heat conductivity.
Will the aluminum react with acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar?
While natural aluminum is durable, prolonged contact with highly acidic ingredients can potentially cause a slight discoloration. We recommend lining the form with parchment paper or greasing it well before baking to prevent any reactions.
Is this form dishwasher safe?
No, this Kastenform is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it gently with warm water and mild soap to preserve its quality and finish.
What is the benefit of using aluminum cookware?
Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat, ensuring even baking and consistent results. It also heats up quickly, reducing baking time.
Where is this Kastenform manufactured?

What does 'reinforced encapsulated steel rim' mean?
The reinforced encapsulated steel rim adds extra strength and stability to the form, preventing warping and ensuring it maintains its shape during baking.
What is the capacity of this form in cups?
The form has a capacity of 70 grams. While we don't provide a direct cup conversion, this is a good measure for recipes calling for a specific weight of batter.
Is this form non-stick?
While the aluminum itself offers good release properties, this form is not inherently non-stick. We recommend greasing it well or using parchment paper for best results.
Can I use this form in the freezer?
While you can technically place the form in the freezer, we don't recommend it. The aluminum can become brittle in extremely cold temperatures and may be damaged.
What kind of breads can I bake in this form?
This form is excellent for baking various breads, including quick breads, loaves, and denser breads like rye or pumpernickel.
How do I best care for my aluminum Kastenform to ensure longevity?
To ensure longevity, hand wash the form with warm water and mild soap after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.

We don't have the exact thickness measurement readily available, but the aluminum is of a durable gauge designed for even heat distribution and long-lasting use.

Is the form coated with any kind of release agent?
No, the form is not coated with any release agent. It's made of pure aluminum and relies on proper greasing or parchment paper for easy release.
What are the dimensions of the interior baking area?
The listed dimensions (L 22.9 cm, W 13.5 cm, H 7 cm) refer to the overall external dimensions of the form. The interior dimensions are slightly smaller to account for the thickness of the aluminum.
