Q: Do I need to oil the pan before baking?
No, the fired ceramic is non-porous enough to release the shortbread without oiling, though a light coat can be used if you prefer extra insurance.
EV126 - Shortbread Pan, Thistle
For those who love shortbread, this pan will be a pleasure to use. Used to make the popular Scottish treat, it has a traditional thistle pattern (the thistle being Scotland's national flower). Made from fired, non-porous ceramic, it renders the pattern in fine detail while preventing the cooked shortbread from sticking to the mold. Shortbread is baked directly in the 8" diameter by 1/2" deep pan, then, after cooling slightly, it is simply tapped out and cut into pie-shaped pieces.
The mold is extremely strong, so there is no need to worry about breaking it when tapping. The instructions suggest oiling the pan before use, but we left this step out during testing and the shortbread still popped out with ease.

Let the shortbread pan cool, then tap it gently to release the shortbread in one piece, ready to cut into pie-shaped wedges.
Not necessarily; the ceramic is fired to be extremely strong, so normal tapping to release a baked shortbread round shouldn't crack it.
It makes an 8" round, 1/2" deep, sized for cutting into individual pie-shaped wedges for serving.
