This is a great mini-muffin pan. However the only problem I have is there is a rim around each individiual muffin area and food an easily get in the crease. This is a pain in cleaning. It does a great job cooking. I only wish there was no seam for food particles to get into.

The Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Bakeware collection is excellent. I recommend them without reservation. I really like this 24 cup muffin pan. I also have one 12 cup pan and two 6 cup Calphalon Commercial Nonstick muffin pans. The 24 cup pan is a perfect size for tea cupcakes. It is nice to have a variety of sizes, depending on the size of the recipe you can make 24 mini and 6 - 12 regular size cupcakes. Frost or decorate them differently and your guests with think you spent all day slaving over your desserts. This mini size is also nice for holidays when you may be making a variety of desserts, after you put out your pies etc. decorate the buffet table by placing mini cupcakes around the pies. The nonstick finish on this pan is excellent, however I always use muffin cups. Not because you have to, I just think it is easier and looks nicer.

One note: you may want to check on your cup cakes / muffins a couple of minutes early. I have noticed that cakes are done a little quicker in pans with a dark finish. Many newer recipes will indicate the timing for dark finish bakeware. These pans are also a breeze to clean, just a little soap and water and you are done. Wonderful Pans! Highly recommended!

Also, read the Calphalon brochure in the box, if you plan to nest this pan with others make sure to put a paper towel between them to prevent any damage to the nonstick coating. And, this pan is not dishwasher safe.

I wouldn't even trade it for an All Clad bake pan, all my cookware is All Clad and I love it but nothing beats high quality, heavy duty Nonstick bakeware!

Ok, this is Calphalon quality, so of course even cooking and nonsticking!!!

Also this is a great size for social gatherings like...
Church functions, Ladies tea or Bible study snacks, KIDS school and birthday parties.

Perfect Size...not quite bitesize but not full size!!

This is yet another offering from Caphelon in their bakeware line. I love this line of bakeware. The pan is heavy and the non-stick surface works well as it should. I sing only praises for this pan and others in this bakeware line.

This is obviously not a must-have for the pantry, but if you are a parent you may find special uses for this with your children. The mini-muffin pan can be used for muffins or cupcakes. Offering children these small cupcakes is a way to offer a complete cupcake without the larger size of a normal cupcake. I'd rather bake great cupcakes from scratch than buying these same sized small ones that are always in the grocery store which are laden with preservatives and chemicals. This small size is great for limiting portions for both adults and children, especially with cupcakes! (I serve the very healthy muffins in the larger size in hope that my children will consume the larger portion.) I have found my children are not receptive to being offered half of a normal sized cupcake so I can use this pan to make smaller sized cupcakes instead. A fun idea to do with the kids is to first put a white colored frosting on the top, then have the children decorate the tops with colored gel frosting, sprinkles or colored sugar however they like. This is a fun activity for holiday parties such as Easter egg hunts or birthday parties. It is easy and fun to make the activity and the food item tied into one rather than have a game or some separate game for me to organize and execute! Serving one cupcake per child for a child's birthday party is a fun alternative to serving an entire cake. (You can save the big cake for the family party instead. In our family I do a separate party for child-friends and family for crowd control purposes.)
