Absolutely love these pans!, February 12, 2009
I am a huge fan of this pan and all of Fat Daddios. I own several different products from them and love each one. Their pans are nice and heavy, bake like a dream, and I am simply amazed at how well they clean up. This pan has straight walls to it and the cakes come out nice and straight, making my decorating a breeze. My cakes rise evenly and release from the pan effortlessly. You will love these pans!
I saw a review about the made in China label and think that this reviewer should try before he complains about something. There are lousy products that come from there but there are also great products that do as well, namely my Fat Daddio pans.

Sweet Cake Pans, April 29, 2009
Picked up two of these after watching Americas Test Kitchen and getting a serious sweet tooth for a yellow cake that they made. After consulting Alton Brown's kitchen hardware book, I decided to eschew the normal nonstick brands that you find all over Bed, Bath and Beyond and similar stores and sought out all aluminum pans. For those who don't know aluminum, like copper, provides excellent even heat distribution, which is essential for all serious cooking and consistent results.
I picked up two Fat Daddio's pans after reading the numerous reviews praising them. I will simply add my voice to the din. They are light, very attractive and, most importantly, do an excellent job at baking. 9 inches is an optimal diameter, but also you really need to have at least a 2 inch height for the rim so the cake doesn't overflow while baking. My cake came out superb and the pans were easy to clean. Fat Daddio's is just an awesome name for a pan manufacturer too. I plan to get far more Fat Daddio's pans for future baking.
Highly recommended!

professional use, December 21, 2009
I am a professional chef and just started baking in quantity for a new shop I am opening. I came up short on 9" pans and ordered a couple online from a baking supply wholesaler in NY. I recieved these very same pans but for a higher price. I also went to my local restaurant supply and found them front and center with all the other baking supplies. What I am saying is that these pan are in use at bakerys and pro kitchens all over. That is a good sign. If you go to a bed and bath store you will find an abundance of cake pans, all nonstick and all good for about a week because a simple scratch, and they will get scratched, whther by cleaned or depanning and they are useless. Lets put it this way. Non stick baking things are not for rigorous use and not for reliable results. Some recipes even require the pan not be slick becaue the product being baked needs to "hold" onto the sides to rise correctly. So I bought and used the fat daddios. They are a bit lighter than some of the other pro units but they have performed admirably in all ways. I use a dish detergent that has no chlorine so they seem to maintain thier color and the shape is very accurate. They are round and straight sided. I have a couple from allied metal spinning that are about 10% heavier by weight but I notice no difference especially in a water bath. Also some of the pro metal units are banded or not completely smooth they are actually wavy on the surface of the walls.So all in all my trials have found nothing wrongs with these pan. Only good. IF they are made in China then so be it. Its not Chinas fault that our government makes manufacturing miserable for anyone in the US who tries it.Lets just be clear we dont manufacture things here anymore so most things we buy are made in China or are twice as expensive and can often be of poor quality.There are a few exceptions. They have the metal fabrication business wrapped up so expect all or most of metal kitchenwares to be made in China.Fat daddio 9 by 3 cake pan is a winner. R
