Simax Fluted Borosilicate Glass Bundt Pan

Important Note on Bakeware

When I’m choosing bakeware, I avoid nonstick Teflon coatings, forever chemicals, aluminum as a direct food-contact surface, heavy metals like lead and cadmium, plastics such as Tritan, nanoparticles, and materials that rely on chemical finishes to perform. I prefer simple, inert materials where food is in direct contact with the surface.

Product Description

This Simax fluted Bundt pan is made from borosilicate glass and designed for ring cakes, puddings, and molded desserts. The baking surface is plain, uncoated glass, meaning food bakes directly on the glass rather than on a nonstick or chemical coating. Borosilicate glass is valued for its stability under heat and its resistance to absorbing odors or flavors.

What I Like

I like that this pan uses straightforward glass with no coatings, no forever-chemical style finishes, and no plastics coming into contact with food. It fits well into a low-tox kitchen because the material choice is clear, simple, and predictable, even for higher-heat baking.

Things to Keep in Mind

Glass can crack if exposed to sudden or extreme temperature changes, so I avoid moving it directly from cold storage into a hot oven or placing a hot pan on a cold or wet surface. Glass also isn’t naturally nonstick, so for cakes or sticky batters, a light coating of oil can help with release.
