The first batch of cornbread cookies I made with the pan came out very well and look just like they do in the pictures. The pan is easy to clean and retains its new look. Even though it has a coated surface, I found a light dusting of spray cooking oil made the baking experience even smoother. There was absolutely no sticking, and the cookies came out perfectly. This is an excellent product. I definitely recommend it.

I had a craving for some Madeleines. After comparing pans available on Amazon and searching feverishly in the house for something that might suffice... I bought this baby. I was a bit miffed about the price, knowing how much my mother paid for her old Madeleine pan. That's inflation for you, though. And I'll tell you something about Mom's pan--it didn't make perfectly smooth Maddies that SLIDE RIGHT OUT of the pan without so much as a poke.

If you're looking for a no-fuss way to fill people up with delicious Madeleines, this is the pan to get. It takes less than 15 minutes from the thought to the mouths. Great for hungry teenagers with exquisite tastes.

I bought this and another Madeleine pan at Williams-Sonoma. I have to say that this pan works much better than the other pan I bought. I actually cut my hand severely on the other pan. The only thing I can recommend is that you butter or spray this pan to avoid the crumbled remains on your madeleines. This is the best pan that I've found.

Totally happy with this purchase. Pay a few dollars more and have better results!

This pan is great and has held up to very regular usage and hard scrubbing! It doesn't have much room to grab it from the oven, so it can be kind of difficult to use if you use a large oven mitt. The browning is a bit quick but since madeleines usually bake from 10-16 minutes depending on the recipe, this shouldn't really be a problem. I've also found that repeat batches during the same batches don't need to be buttered/flour dusted after the first batch and you'll get just as great looking madeleines each time without any stick! It cools quickly, which is good since 12 madeleines isn't really that many. The one thing that would make this even better is to offer a 24-cup pan and to add handles!

While I haven't tried every madeleine tin out there I have used the tin coated steel variety and they are simply not worth it. Even using the time consuming double butter method (brush on butter, freeze, brush again and lightly flour)the Madeleines sometimes stick. With these tins making the Madeleines is so much easier. Even though they are non stick I use a light coat of butter to add extra flavor and have not had a problem with sticking (a light spray of canola oil would also work). This a great pan that cleans up easily and really comes in handy when you get a hankering for some light french cookies. As with any dark pan it is best to reduce the oven temp by about 25 degree's otherwise they will overcook ( I made that mistake the first time around).

So I was a first-timer making madeleines and this pan made it so easy. The first time I made madeleines, I buttered/floured the pan and then my madeleines came out all spotted with flour. But then the next time I made it, all I did was butter the molds with a pastry brush and it came out phenomenal. It is amazingly non-stick, making it that much easier to bake madeleines. I definitely recommend this!

I chose this pan because of excellent prior experience with Chicago Metallic products & the price point, and bought 2 of them to fit my recipe. I am very pleased! Just to be safe, I used cooking spray with flour on them. The madeleines slid out easily & were so delicious. The pan has a hanging hole, so I've hung them on a pegboard pullout, and they stack.

I ordered this pan to make madeleines. Never having made madeleines before I wasn't sure what type of pan to get. Googled it and found a variety of pans from really cheap to very expensive. This pan fell in the middle for price. After making a batch or two of madeleines, I can say this pan is great. It's easy to use and is quick to clean up. Yes, you need to grease/spray the shell areas so your madeleines don't stick. I found out the hard way but the pan cleaned up pretty good and didn't scratch up as I attempted to pull the madeleines out of the pan.

Overall, for the price and ease of cleaning, I think the Chicago Metallic madeleine pan was worth buying.

What more can be said?
Excellent Madeleine Pan...

Worked perfectly - didn't warp or twist from the heat, Madeleines browned perfectly and released easily, cleanup was a breeze.

Love this pan! Followed the directions on the package in regard to seasoning and using PAM, and loved the orange madeleines that was included. And it has a 25 year warranty when used in a normal fashion. While the package says its dishwasher safe I simply use hot water to clean and then dry since it has a non stick surface. You may be wondering why it says its non stick and yet you use PAM. You can do it sans PAM, but it assures reallly easy removal and a clean picture perfect madeleines, when you use pam. Also liked using the pan for vegan muffins we love.
