Bakeware Nordic Ware: purchase, features, reviews, recipes

[Yutan,]

Girls .. an American cup of 240 ml is about 150 grams of flour. Keep this in mind when translating recipes.

In my attached recipe for the "Gifts" form, the ingredients are indicated both in cups and in grams. For example, 1 1/2 cup = 180 grams of flour, it turns out that their cup = 120 grams of flour. Based on this, I convert their cup measures to grams.

Yutan, Tatyana, I just baked a cherry muffin, I'm waiting for 10 minutes and I'm going to take it out. By the way, I put 240 g of flour, and I replaced 2-3 tablespoons with cornstarch and sprinkled them over the cherries. Hell in "Turkey", because I don't have a heart (it sounds good), but they are identical in volume

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal, we wait with bated breath

Girls, these are the recommendations of Irina - Nanaimo - an amazingly creative cook and handyman who lives in Canada and has a lot of experience with these forms.
I asked her for advice on Nordic forms, and she issued a whole treatise !!! Thank you very much ...

I will share my experience of baking in various forms. For very often the recipe for your favorite cupcake is given, but whether it is suitable for the shape you have chosen is a question.
At first, I also often did not guess how much dough I needed to fit into the mold. And then I worked out an algorithm and certain rules for myself.
1. Bought a new mold .... Take a cup and simply pour water into the mold.
Then just measure the amount of water. This will give you the volume of the mold in liters.

2. I usually make my muffin dough in the same container. In order not to miss the mark, I also measured the volume of my bowl. I made notes for each liter to make it easier to navigate.

Why is this necessary? It's simple. The first time you prepare the dough for a new cake, you will know how much the dough takes up. By following this you will be able to figure out how complete your cupcake form will be.

Then, over time, all of this will happen automatically ...
Now, looking at the recipe, I can say approximately how much it will take and what form should be chosen. Very convenient, for me anyway, that American recipes are listed in the cups. Already at once I can figure out how much volume will turn out.
But you need to start with the first 2 steps.

Then ... at first, and still ... I use the spreadsheet printed in the cookbook.
Alas ... I cannot create a table here, but I will try to transfer the basic information.

Volume table for various shapes.

Square, rectangular shapes with straight or slightly sloping walls:

Width x length x height in cm

20x20x5 = 2-2.5 liters
23cmx23x5 = 2.5-3 liters
28x18x4 = 2 liters
33x23x5 = 4 liters
39x27x2.5 = 2.5 liters
44x29x2.5 = 3 liters

Cupcake tins without inner tube
Diameter x height in cm

15x5 = 1 liter
20x5 = 1.75 liters
20x6 (7.5) = 2.25 - 2.5 liters
23x5 = 2.25 liters
26x6 (7) = 2.75 - 3.25 liters
25x5 = 2.75 liters
30x5 = 4 liters
35x5 = 5.5 liters
Cupcake molds with a tube

diameter x height x internal width in cm

14x8x5.5 = 625 ml
19x9.5x5.5 = 1 liter
21.5х11.5х7.5 = 1.5 liters
23х13х7.5 = 2 liters
25x10x7.5 - 1.75 liters

Naturally, this is all only a basis and approximately. It is imperative to consider how the dough grows during the baking process. The recipes indicate how much to fill the form - half the volume, 3/4, or top ... It also depends on the choice of form.

And yet, if your dough turns out to be less in volume than the volume of your mold, then you just need to increase the number of ingredients, following from how much dough you already have and correlating with the volume of the mold.

For example:

Form - 2.5 liters.And the test turned out to be 1.5 liters.

We calculate the coefficient of increase of ingredients.

Divide 2.5 by 1.5 = 1.6666 Therefore, each ingredient in your recipe must be multiplied by 1.6. Then you will get a dough volume of almost 2.5 liters. But this is on condition that the dough hardly increases. If it increases in volume, then it must be multiplied by a smaller number ... say by 1.2 or 1.3.

But again, again, have a standing bowl for making the dough so that you can easily navigate the volume of the resulting dough.

And a little more about the volumes of the Nordic forms. Usually the dimensions and volume are indicated, sometimes weight .... To understand, I repeat once again - measure the volume with water.

Uraaaa, everything worked out great, almost without defects, here is one half
and the second this is the mold after removing the cupcakes, it is absolutely clean

In cherry glaze

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal, I hope to find out about the taste tomorrow

[Yutan]

Yes, tomorrow I will show the cut and report on the taste sensations. Note that there is only 240 g of flour in the dough !!! Now covered with cherry glaze, beauty ...

I could not stand it, cut off a piece from the "tail". This is delicious, Yutan, Tatyana, thank you so much for the recipe, perhaps this cupcake will stay with us for a long time

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, the bird is just lovely And how did you lubricate the form?

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal,

Tatiana, thank you. Greased the mold with butter and sprinkled with flour

Oksanochka

[svbone]

svbone,

I don’t understand why to suffer so much, if the volume of all Nordic forms is indicated on them !! Directly embossed on the form)) In liters and cups.

Natasha, he's knocked out, but it's not always possible to guess the amount of dough. I asked about the Nordic forms, and Irina posted such a detailed answer. So I thought that something from what I had written might be useful to someone. The man worked hard and expressed everything he could.

[svbone]

svbone,

Ahh, did she write about any of them? I thought that all these described manipulations with the measurement of the volume of the form refer specifically to Nordic. So I thought - for what?, If the volume is already known))).

Honestly, for how many years I have been baking, I have never seriously bothered with the ratio of recipe and shape volumes. The volume calculated for 1 large cake usually coincided with large forms for me and vice versa. Maybe this is already the same "stuffed" (well, that not her husband))) eye.
But directly from the home site, the recipe for the Quartet got out of it almost as much as if it was designed for one and a half forms))). Although nothing terrible happened.

And I bought good mixer bowls from Curver. The volume is indicated inside them. It's also convenient. It is immediately obvious whether it will fit or not. Generally, I think it can be counted in terms of the amount of flour / liquid. Also a good guide.

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal, congratulations on the cupcake. In general, I don't know why I did it this way. I'll go buy more cherries and repeat the experiment in a few days, otherwise the cherry cake won't fit into my husband for several days in a row.
But I even made chocolate for icing ... I ate it like that, without a cake.

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal, Svetlana, the bird is wonderful

The Garland appeared on Ozone, though on order.

[Tatiana, Elena]

Tatiana, Elenathank you girls!

Yutan, Tatiana, the cupcake is very tasty and, importantly, beautiful! Firstly, I defrosted the cherries in the microwave, then threw them on a sieve, the juice dripped while preparing the dough. The dough is strictly according to the recipe you gave, I put exactly 240 g of flour, lubricated the mold especially carefully, excuse me with your finger, dust it with flour. Before putting the cherries in the dough, generously roll them in about 3 tablespoons of corn starch, you can replace it with potato. I filled in the forms, tapped them on the table to evenly distribute and fill in all the bumps. Baked at 180 degrees for about an hour. I took it out of the oven immediately, the form was on the table in the kitchen for 10 minutes, I could not stand it in the cold. Exactly 10 minutes later I jumped out of the form without any problems.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, and he rises strongly? I want to bake something in the form of Gifts and take it to the kindergarten, but I just can't choose which one is better to cook.

[bukabuza]

bukabuza, Elena, this cupcake filled two sections of the "Turkey" without reaching the top by 1 cm. When baking, it rose slightly, it did not come out of the mold. If baking "Gifts", then I would recommend my own recipe, I baked it, and I also really liked it. There, the amount of dough is calculated for the "gift" form, and the "Bird" will be larger. Excess dough will remain, and it will have to be baked in other forms.

I copied my message: "Gifts" with lingonberries, recipe from the package:

120 g softened butter
300 g sugar
3 eggs
120 ml heavy whipping cream (I have sour cream)
180 g flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp lemon extract (I have 1 teaspoon of lemon juice)
1/4 tsp almond extract

there is no baking powder in the recipe, I added 1 tsp.

Lingonberry is a gag, but it fits perfectly

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, Thank you
I just had a form of gifts without paper, so I want 6 pieces, bake in gifts, I think once I fit into the bird, that's enough for me.

[bukabuza, Elena,]

bukabuza, Elena,My Cherry Cupcake turned out great, but Tatiana has no, there may be several reasons, they need to be analyzed. And I copied the recipe for gifts in the previous post. To get full-fledged cupcakes in gifts, you will have to make a recount, The full volume of the Bird will not be enough for 2 portions of Gifts, for one and a half portions at best

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, yeah, I already rewrote the recipe for Gifts.
On the weekend I will experiment, otherwise I cannot decide between 4 recipes. While there is time, I will try everything and decide what to choose. The main thing is that the husband then ate all the test samples.

Well, everything now I was definitely left without baskets Ozon sent a letter about refusal. And I wanted them so. True, I ordered the Garland, I wonder if it comes or not, they write that there will be 27 delivery.

Well, everything now I was definitely left without baskets

In maxidom 1311 rub. your baskets.

[f]

Yesterday I received my last 3 forms from Ozone, yes-yes-yes), namely the last ones, fSyoyo, I've had enough ...

Alas and ah, the baking tray for shortbread cookies turned out to be yuzan ... all in flour, aha, and with traces of sticky pastries ...

Do you think I gave it up) ?!

Yes uace Don't wait !!!

Washed to a shine, well, pure brand new ...

Not scratched anywhere and okay !!!

I amuse myself with the thought that it was he who came to me so unwashed from the presentation ...

But if it were not a discount, I would have refused ... probably ...

[Crochet]

Crochet, Inna, if it were not for the discount, then in theory it is not needed, I have not received it yet, it lies at the point of issue, but it seems to me this is the most mediocre of all my forms, given that I do not like and do not bake biscuits. Maybe I'm wrong, and when I get it, I'll fall in love with tender love, like all my Nordic molds These crumbs haunt me, I can't understand how they got there, we have already discussed this, but we have not received a sane answer, but so of course they wouldn't have bothered me either

In maxidom 1311 rub. your baskets.

on the office they are at 1450r + delivery, it is too expensive. On Ozone, I have a little less than 1 ton. R. went out.
Right now, I'll see what comes from Ozone and in what condition, I'm already waiting there for 5 pieces, and then I'll think about whether to give me Baskets or not.

[Crochet]

Crochet, Inna, congratulations on the new forms.
And for some reason, the cookie mold did not catch me even with the rose. They seem beautiful, but for some reason they are not attracted to them. Although I have not seen them alive.

[selenа]

selenа, in this thread I gave a photo of a cake baked in this form (from a Czech site, it seems). I liked the idea itself. You can make a double stuffed one, or bake two, then layer. The square shape of 23x23 cm is a convenient option for small portioned cakes. Well this is like a plus

Prices for ozone have been raised again today. While I was thinking about the pan for pancakes ... today it jumped by 700 rubles right away .. I, of course, have points there .. but it's a shame, damn it .. Some forms have also grown in price, but not so clearly.

[Mams]

Mams, Ol, that's just for you and your ideas I hope, Sveta is there and a cake bush baked, I can find use in the household, if there is such a brutal tray

[bukabuza]

bukabuza,

and then I’ll think whether I’ll give me Lukoshka or not.

Flax, what to think - they are not available anywhere, even for 2,400 rubles, they refused, if only because of the cordon to order, but with zakardony now it is not clear what will be of all the forms that I wanted, only baskets did not get

Ol, that's just for you and your ideas I hope

Well, we will always help with ideas

By the way .. perfect sale ( 🔗) again announced discounts for these forms. The pictures are the same, the prices are the same. another 13 days type. Who is here near the ward? Go call. What they have left there.

[selenа]

selenа, Hope, in Ekaterenburg there is, you can order from there, and there seems to be Harite too. It's just that Baskets alone are somehow not profitable to order because of the delivery cost.

[Mams]

Mams, Olga, I called them about an hour ago only Delize, Gifts, Boy + Girl and Pumpkin are available. They have nothing else, even at full cost.

Girls, is Ozone kidding? Yesterday they sent a letter that Garland was on sale. Well, I put it in the shopping cart right away and placed the order. They wrote that they would bring it in 10 days. Today my order was canceled by letter and they offer a 5% discount. I didn’t pull them, they suggested it themselves. This has already happened twice.

These crumbs do not give me peace, I cannot understand how they got there, we have already discussed this, but we have not received a sane answer, and of course they would not have bothered me either

Girls, or maybe it is their manufacturer who tests, tests, for example, several forms with each batch, so to speak? Well, then they send us such unwashed people?
You can write to them directly and ask how so? Who speaks English well?

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, for the state it will be a shame and a shame (I finally got the forms today: I put a cupcake in lemon form according to the Chuchelka recipe, for which the Grand Merci. I added walnuts, and there was not enough flour, added 100 grams of amaranth flour, now they are worried about how it is will be the result. Of all the forms, only the beehive had a recipe. All the rest were in packages, but clean without any traces of use. I don't believe in my happiness, in America you can't buy it for such a deny.

[bukabuza]

bukabuza, Thank you! The information will be useful to those who have not yet had time
Today we tried a stamp, but not a Nordic, but the same one, German, with a gingerbread man, silicone. Gradually we figured out how to work with it more conveniently. It is not necessary to press the stamp all the way down, but gently and gently flatten the dough. It is more convenient to make not a ball, as in an advertising film, but a flat cake. Then the stamp is not fully pressed into the dough, the relief remains, and the stamp is easily removed. I think this is the same for Nordic stamps. In general, the second batch of cookies with stamps went much easier. So it's a matter of experience and frequency of use.

Girls, in Pike in Scarlet Sails there were honeycombs, a boy a girl, a garland, a pumpkin and something else. Price up to 2 thousand. Maybe someone is interested

offsite them for 1450r

Now everyone has a discount of 12 percent .. it turns out 1311 rubles for baskets. And that there is no maxidom in Moscow?

Well, everything now I was definitely left without baskets Ozon sent a letter about refusal. And I wanted them so.

And I have the same sad story with Ozone. Lukoshka's rules were simply thrown out of the order. No comment ... And no discounts, no compensation!
Although, when ordering Lukoshek, I spent part of the points from MTS. In theory, they owe me part of the points back?

[Natalia]

Natalia, thank you, but first I'll get all the leftovers, and then I'll think. On Tuesday, we should bring an order with Ozono, and then we'll see. On the one hand, I really want to, but on the other, I don’t know where to put it all.

[sola19]

sola19what is this maxid? Please give me a normal link or name, I called everyone I found, there are no baskets, maybe they did not fall into my field of vision

[A.lenka]

A.lenka, no points are not refundable, only from Sberbank, and the rest are not. I asked the operator about this today.

In maxidom 1311 rub. your baskets.

What is it? Can you throw a link?

I don’t know where to put all this

In-in !! Today they brought me gifts and a lily from the ideal sale home ... now I also thought ... where would I put the house that I wanted so much. Even the silicone lock is huge!

[bukabuza]

bukabuza, here yolki ... What an injustice ...

[Hope]

Hope, here 🔗

[sola19]

sola19, Natalia, and I'm just waiting for two houses, one New Year's, the second for two. plus more cupcakes with caps. So I think where to clean these houses, they are healthy.

So I think where to clean these houses, they are healthy

For me, two houses take up a lot of space! Sell ​​it ... don't ruin your childhood dream ... let's agree ...
