Cons:
- stickers on the pan take a lot of work to get off
- the square corners take more work to clean
- price


I bought this pan after it was highly recommended by America's Test Kitchen. It is a well built pan. I like that the corners and sides are relatively square as opposed to rounded. Works great, but a little pricey for what it is.

I deducted one star because of the cheap stickers that took forever to get off and even then there was residual glue I could remove. For a pan of this price/quality they should have enough sense not plaster it with promotional stickers that are not easily removable!

This is one sturdy little cake pan that is built to last. Calphalon makes good products anyway so I'm not surprised how well this pan is made. It's durable and very easy to clean. The corners of the pan are folded and to clean this area of the pan I use a toothpick or wooden skewer and the spray hose of my faucet. I also tilt the pan and tap it several times to help get any water that may be in this area of the pan. It requires a little extra work but, the good food that I can make in this pan is worth the little extra effort.

I'm very pleased with all my calphalon bakeware. It is sturdy, durable and heats evenly for beautiful results.

Although it is a very sturdy pan and bakes evenly, cleaning it was a nightmare. Could not get baked-on food out of the corners. I gave this away and am getting the Wearever that has slightly rounded corners.

I just bought two of these pans and I love them. They don't have that horrible coating on them, either and food doesn't stick. It is stick resistant, but not non stick and I like these better, because there is no coating to wear off. I only buy Calphalon cookware and bakeware. It is the absolute best and worth every penny.

Bought these for, well, cake.

I *really* like them. Sometimes I think Calphalon slaps their name on too many different things; you can't count on it being a top quality item just because it's Calphalon (IMO).

This pan doesn't disappoint. Heavy, even cooking, great heft, and quality construction. I can't believe they're as inexpensive as they are. Very highly recommend them.

This is a really nice pan. The reason I ordered it was the straight sides - most pans have sides that slant and the edge pieces of whatever I am making don't turn out the right size or shape. I plan to order a second one so I can bake both layers of a cake at one time.

This is a really good cake pan. It is well made. I noticed that it is heavier than some cheaper cake pans. So far, I have used this cake pan to make brownies and corn bread. Both dishes came out perfectly.

This is a great little pan for everyday use. I like Calphalon quality, have used Calphalon for years. The eight inch square pan is great for casseroles, baking, etc. Very easy to clean.

This is the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned. EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT!! IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN. I only hope I can sell it a garage sale for 2cents as that is all it is worth!!
