5.0 out of 5 stars I'll never own other bakeware, August 25, 2003

By

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Bakeware 9-Inch Round Cake Pan (Kitchen)

This cake pan is certainly the best I've ever owned. I was so tired of making what had the potential to be a great cake, only to have half of it left in the pan, despite my best efforts. Since buying this (actually, I bought two), I've cleaned my cabinets of all my old bakeware, and replaced everything with Calphalon.

I wouldn't say that they turn out perfect every time, but it's pretty darn close. You should definitely follow Calphalon's directions when they say prep the pan as you would any other, and follow the cake recipe as though this were not a non-stick pan. That is the only way you are going to have the easy slide-out. When I didn't do that, thinking to myself that the pans were that amazing, my cakes stuck somewhat - although nothing like what I'd experienced before.

Take note of the fact that you can't stack Calphalon - make sure you've got the room to store it, or are prepared to take the time to care for it properly.

Also, you cannot put it in the dishwasher. This is a very important point when it comes to Calphalon.

Again, make sure you read the use and care instructions.

You will never need to own other cake pans again.

1.0 out of 5 stars misleading advertising, July 15, 2005

The advertising claims "heavy gauge aluminum construction". Not true. Calphalon Commercial Bakeware is aluminized steel. Mine are starting to RUST. They put a really really thin coat of aluminum over the steel to help it heat more evenly. But this is alot to pay for a conventional rust-prone steel pan. And their customer service sucks. They haven't answered my complaints about the rust problem (in one of my pans, it is on the non-stick inside surface where there is a seam, and affects flavor of baked goods).

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Layer Cakes, March 13, 2002

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Bakeware 9-Inch Round Cake Pan (Kitchen)

Because I've loved using my Calphalon cookware so much, I decided to find out if their bakeware would give me improved baking results. I'm happy to say that I've been very pleased with these cake pans. I ordered three of them because one of my favorite things to bake is a three-layer German Chocolate Cake that I make from scratch. With multi-layered cakes, it's important that the layers come out as evenly as possible. Because these 9-inch cake pans are very heavy duty, the layers do bake evenly, and the cake has a good texture.

Before pouring in my cake dough, I grease the insides of these pans with a bit of shortening, wiping off the excess with a paper towel. Although the pans are nonstick, I find that this method works best for me. Sometimes I will also cut out rounds of waxed or parchment paper to line the pans. I use the shortest of the suggested cooking times for my recipes. If I need to loosen the edges of the baked cake layers when removing them from the pans, I use a Calphalon nylon spatula/knife. I also use this pan to bake Bisquick coffee cake, as well as refrigerator biscuits and cinnamon rolls, when I don't have time to make them from scratch. I hand-wash these pans as I do with all my Calphalon cookware and bakeware.

I'd also like to recommend two excellent baking cookbooks by Anne Byrn: 'The Cake Mix Doctor' and 'Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor.' Both books have many excellent cake and frosting recipes, as well as tips for doctoring cake mixes and suggestions for add-ins.
