Product Description

Amazon.com Review

When you pull lovingly made baked goods from the oven, be sure you find consistent, golden crusts; level surfaces; and thoroughly cooked interiors by using professional, heavyweight metal bakeware, such as this versatile Chicago Metallic Professional round cake pan. Guaranteed to distribute heat evenly, this pan features rolled rims and superior construction to ensure it stays level--no warping or buckling when hot. The bonded, nonstick surface makes for easy release of baked goods and fast, carefree cleanup, and the rich, dark gray surface will get even darker with age. Because it readily retains heat, consider lowering your oven temperature 25 degrees to prevent overbrowning delicate creations. Treat this one right--don't cut on the surface and scrub only with a nylon cleaning pad and soap--and you'll never buy another cake pan again. --Marianne Painter

Product Description

Once covered with flat rims to protect from being flavored during wood-fired baking, these pans have changed very little since the renaissance. A round bake pan will uniformly cook the batter preventing a too thick crust. Straight sides promote uniform rising. Available in many sizes so the baker can devise any creation he/she has in mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to your kitchen, February 22, 2001

I have had two of these cake pans for a few years now, and I love them! I've won awards for my cakes, so take my word for it, if you don't want to take a chance on ending up with a low quality pan, this is the one to purchase. They do conduct the heat very well, so I do usually drop the temperature in my oven by about 5 degrees. This allows the sides and the middle of the cake to rise at a more even rate, preventing a high rounded top. If you like to bake cakes, I highly recommend buying this pan.

I grew up using my grandmother's cake pans and I still retain a deep fondness for them. But I wanted something a little more professional, so I turned to Chicago Metallic, and was more than a little surprised at the difference in my cakes. I've finally gotten that smooth, almost crumbless texture that is a joy to frost. My cakes are more level now because I can bake them at a lower temperature, and the result is that the finished cakes really do look more professional. I'm sold on this bakeware and plan on getting more pans, which is the highest recommendation I can give.

These are nice cake pans. They're a good weight, the non-stick surface seems to be quite solid, and they just plain work. I've tried cheaper pans, but I think these are worth the extra money--I've done 3 cakes with these so far and never had even the slightest problems with sticking or uneven cooking. (I've been very impressed with all my Chicago Metallic cooking equipment, actually.)

One minor disadvantage is that they don't stack. But that can actually be a good thing too--that means the sides really are vertical.

The real test will be how they hold up in 5 years.
