I thought this was a nice pan, but I don't think it was quite worth the $16 plus shipping. I thought it would be heavier for that price.

It's still a good pan and I found plenty of recipes online for baked donuts. They usually call for them being piped onto a cookie sheet, but I just used the pan instead with fine results.

I do agree the donuts are a little heavier than normal store-bought cake donuts, but still they are good. Just don't over fill the shapes and your donuts come out fine looking. Nothing stuck, not even to the center flutes.

I will definitely use it again and try many different recipes. The donuts are not too big or too small. Fill in the forms with a pastry bag or plastic bag with a corner cut out, it makes it much easier to fill and the final product looks so much better.

I found that any (non moist) cake mix will work. Mix it according to the directions and pour it is as if you were making cupcakes. The pudding and moist cake mixes don't turn out as well but can be used. I also add apple sauce in = amounts in place of the oil. Any store bought frosting watered down makes a great glaze. Or you can sprinkle on some powered sugar or hey, eat them naked. They are good with nothing on them at all!

Although a little more than I would like to have spent on a baking pan, I love it! I ordered two since we have a large family and wanted to cook up multiples at a time. Finding a recipe required a bit of work, but we settled on our favorite things in the donut pan are our tried and true banana bread and pumpkin bread recipes with chocolate chips in them. We pipe the batter in with a bag with the corner cut out (or a tupperware frosting decorator ball thing minus the tips from a friend works super!) The donuts are so much more fun than the muffins we were making previously and great for kids' hands and superb baked gifts for friends. We get rave reviews from all who try it. It was definitely worth the purchase and the wait for them to arrive from backorder.

This pan worked very well with a very basic baked donut recipe - take any cake mix, add 2 eggs or 1/2 c egg substitute and 1/2 c water - mixture will be very thick - spray pan well and put mixture in pan - makes 12 donuts - bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes. Once cooled, frost with buttercream frosting or just dust with 4X sugar, etc. These are really rich and good.

I was thrilled when my pan arrived and was more than pleased with my first batch of donuts. I collect cookbooks and had found an easy recipe I wanted to try and it worked great!! You just mix a box of cake mix, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup water for the batter. I used a freezer bag with a corner cut out to fill the sections and it worked great. You bake the donuts at 350 for 13 minutes. Be sure and spray your pan first and the donuts will be easy to remove. I made chocolate donuts, but with all the different cake mixes on the market, the possibilities are endless!!

This is a very sturdy, well made pan. The doughnuts popped out effortlessly with just a thin coating of crisco shortening. One thing I really like is, each doughnut is approx. 3" in diameter -- good portion control (unless you eat two....) I would have given it 5 stars if it came with a recipe I could use --- the Kaiser recipe is in metric measurements, and includes ingredients that I am unsure of (soft curd cheese?). I tried a recipe I found online, and it was just OK, nothing to rave about. But that is no fault of the pan! When I find a great recipe, this pan will get a real workout in my house.

I haven't actually made donuts with this pan, but I have made cookies and cakes with it. It bakes evenly, the finished tasties come out easily, and they are bite-size hits at gatherings.

It is a fine product for making your own full-size donuts. One of very few that I found that would do a dozen full-sized donuts.

I had never seen a pan to make baked lower fat donuts before so thought I would give it a try. Well, the pan is a nice weight, the non-stick surface works perfectly, and the donuts came out so tender and melt in your mouth. The recipe that comes with the pan is in European measurements, but I found a recipe on the internet and used it. The donuts baked evenly and actually fell out of the pan when I turned it over after taking out of the oven. My whole family could not believe these perfect little donuts. They are on the small side, but are just the right size for a snack or after dinner. I will definitely be using this pan over and over again.

I have had so much fun making yummy donuts that are so much healthier than anything you can get at a donut shop. Excellent and fun!
