Nordic Ware Reusable Bundt Cake Thermometer

Fail proof way for baking cakes

I have found the Bundt Cake Thermometer to be reliable and easy to use. Thanks to other reviews I am very gentle with the tip, never use anything to scrub it (e.g., brush, dobie, etc.), and simply rinse it with warm water after each use. It is holding up well and I haven’t run into any issues with the coating coming off. My photos were taken after 7 months of use and after testing approximately 10 - 12 cakes over that period of time. I recommend this tool and would buy it again.

This is a good item for testing your Bundt cakes, easy to clean good quality. The size is small, but you need to clean it and put it up so you don’t lose it because I did lose mine before I got to use it for a couple of months.

This seems to work well, I've tested it on two different loaf cakes baked in Nordic Ware pans. I deducted one star because the color change to red is VERY tiny at the end of the tip - wish it were a little more obvious.

I’ve had different results with these thermometers. They haven’t been very accurate, probably user error. I’m not much of a baker, but I’m a big fan of Nordicware Bundt pans and I’ve had difficulty adjusting my recipes to the different pans. I’m going to keep them because of sustainability, I bought 2, and use them instead of using toothpicks. Maybe I’ll get the hang of them eventually.

All my life, I have used a toothpick to check if cakes, brownies etc were done in the middle. It's not always clear if it's barely underdone or a tad overdone. But that is "how it's done"...until I saw this! I was skeptical. I tried it and it WORKS. Even if the top of the cake isn't quite browned or dry as you think it has to be, this will tell you it IS and give you perfect cakes! No more toothpicks by the oven for me!

The idea is great, but the accuracy is questionable. From my experience, the tip turns red even if the cake isn’t done. It’s still serves the purpose that a toothpick would, being if it comes out clean, you know the cake is done. The thermometer is easy to clean and is pretty durable. I’ve had it for a year and the tip is still blue and I use it frequently. Even though the it doesn’t work as it should for me, I still like having it. It’s still handy.

So I had one of these that I bought a while back at a fancy shop for way too much. My mom asked how I managed to always bake my cakes perfectly (she exaggerates, they aren't always perfect) even when I have never made the recipe before and I explained that I don't open my oven until the cake passes the sniff test, the visual test, the shake/shimmy test and then when it does, I test it with this. I ended up just giving her mine as a stocking stuffer, thinking I would just get a new one. Then I forgot for a long time. But every time I baked I remembered and finally one day decided to look for it here. Glad I did. Sometimes even when a cake smells done, looks done and doesn't wobble when you jiggle the oven, it still isn't really ready. This is way more accurate and eco friendly than the toothpick test.
