I wanted to take a quick photo of my bundt pan to show to you. A couple friends have asked me what I use, since I make bundt cakes a lot, and there is a recipe for a Vanilla Toffee (bundt) Cake in my cookbook. When I began baking I was unable to find a bundt pan in stores that wasn't made of aluminum and/or non-stick coating. So I found this one on Ebay for around 15 dollars I think. My husband and I can't remember for sure when it was made. He thinks it was made in the 70's, and I thought it said the 80's. Either way, it isn't extremely old, and came in perfect condition. I believe it was made in Portugal.
Since I found mine I have seen others like it on Ebay. One was a beautiful blue color, and my friend got it for such a great price—probably less than a new unhealthy one from a store :-) Just be sure when you find one on Ebay to check the sellers rating and make sure they are reputable. I bet you could also find one at a thrift store or antique store, but I've never seen one at our's.
Love, Kelly

Cute PAN!
Cool! Great tip. So you grease and flour it first?
Ooooh I'm totally looking for one of those now :) Thank you for sharing!
Yes Kali Lilla. Grease and flour well. =)
Oh, wow, when I saw your FB post, I had no idea that you didn't buy it new. Will be on the lookout now ... that blue one on eBay sounds nice. :-)

Thank you for letting us know about these. I've been looking for a bundt pan for some time now but all the ones I could find where either non-stick (a no-no in my kitchen) or made of aluminium (also a no-no).
Thanks to your post, I found a 6 inch handmade ceramic bundt pan on Ebay.
I know it sounds rather small but it's perfect for baking cute little cakes for my husband & I ;).
That's great Alchemille! Yay!
Hi Kelly! Just curious...what do you use for cookware? I see you are avoiding aluminum and so I was just curious what you use. Please let me know if you get a chance. Thanks!
Hi Melissa, I use Le Creuset that my mom got me for my birthday one year at Marshall's. I see it there often. And at TJMax, Ross, etc. I have a small, medium and large orange Le Creuset pot with lid (but they come in lots of colors). I use ceramic baking dishes for cake and casserole. My frying pan is cast iron, and it's a big one. :-)
I just found a 91/2 X 5 HEAVY ceramic, brown bundt cake vessel. I am probably going to sell it as I have never seen one before and I am a foodie, but am trying to avoid sweets. This one even has aone incy proterburance with a hole i it for haning on a nail or??
Hi, I like this bundt pan and do not like aluminum and non-stick coating but I worry about using old ceramics because of lead. Have you determined if lead is an issue in old ceramic cookware.

Another option would be pampered chef storeware bundt pan. Anna
