Using A Flower Nail When Baking A Cake

I'm mainly lurking and have read numerous passing references to using your flower nail when baking a cake. I take it that you can use your flower nail i/o a heating core? If so, exactly how do you use it and when do you use more than one?
Many thanks from an excited caker.
If you use parchment to line your pans, put the nail in first, press in the paper over the nail.
I use them in most pans when I have a dense recipe. I put one nail in a 10' two in a 12 or 14". The larger the pan, the more nails.
the nails help distribute the heat through the batter, helping the cake bake more evenly.
Some people put a shortening or spray the nail, I never bother.
