I purchased the pan awhile back but haven't gotten the chance to use it yet. However, now I have an order for June where I get to use it! But I have one problem. I moved recently and I seem to remember that something fell out of the box. They looked like rods of some type. Are these absolutely necessary to use this pan? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
The rod is to help the cake bake all the way through. You could experiment and try to bake a cake without it, turn your temp down if you do this or the outside of the cake will be well done and the middle raw.
You might be able to get replacement parts at a cake store if you can't get a cake to turn out so you don't have to buy a new pan.
Your batter might leak out of the pan as well without this rod.
Have you looked in the box to see what's in there?
Here's a list of what mine has listed on the back:
Pan
stand with bolt
instruction book doll pick
Rod
Is there any chance that you got yours used? It might be possible then that someone put spare parts from a second pan in the box.
Is there just the one rod in the box? It seemed like there was alot rolling around in there!
The pan comes with a rod and a bolt. You place the rod inside the pan and the bolt goes on the outside of that pan. Then you screw the bolt into the rod to hold it all in place.
