How do I use a flower nail correctly as a heat core in a 14" round 3" deep pan? Is one enough?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

i think for pans over 10" big, 2 flower nails would be better.

I only use one.....I spray it really good with Baker's Joy and place it upside down in the center of the pan. When you flip the cake out of the pan, you can just pull the nail right out! It helps a lot.

I'd use two since they'll fit.

Thanks all! Now I understand.....thanks for the picture that was a big help....I love this site

Its funny how people do things different but I pour in the batter, tap to get the air out then put in my sprayed flower nail. Works great. I do use 2 in the bigger pans too. Sandy
