I LOVE this pan! I have also bought 'cheaper' versions and found them to be far inferior. The cheaper pans have a seam ridge on the top around each donut cavity that catches batter and snags cleaning cloths. They are much thinner and lighter than this pan and therefore do not heat as evenly. Also the donut cavities in the cheaper versions are not as deep and the hole maker is much smaller, resulting in a donut that is not 'pleasing to the eye' and looks more like a cookie with a small hole in the middle. This pan cooks evenly every time and the donuts come out looking 'professional' and deliciously tempting! I highly recommend this pan!

We like this pan but if you buy it MAKE SURE you season it before making your first batch. We didn't with ours and the we had to throw out the first batch of donuts because they tasted like metal. Just put it in a 400 degree oven for about 10 min. b4 making your first batch.
This is really great for making cake donuts.

This is the best kitchen purchase I have ever made! I regularly make vegan donuts, and have always struggled with achieving the conventional donut form. With this pan, you simply spoon your batter in the molds and 10 minutes later, you have perfect donuts! I recommend spraying a bit of cooking spray into the molds to ease pulling the donuts out - with this method you're guaranteed to get perfect donuts with nothing sticking in th pan! I will be purchasing another one so I can make a dozen at a time!

Works perfectly. You just have to try a few times to figure out how full to fill the pan. Then your donuts are perfection.

Use one side of pan to bake doughnuts, the other side to bake doughnut holes. Comes with 2 recipes, one for each type. I tried the recipe for chocolate doughnuts and it turned out ok. The mixture is very much like cake batter, so I suspect any cake, muffin or brownie mix should work fine. The enclosed recipes recommend a baking time of 8 minutes, but using an electric oven cooking at 325 degrees on the middle rack, mine took 11 minutes baking time for an inserted toothpick to draw out clean.

The shipment came fairly quickly and the pan is great! No sticking and the donuts came out great! I would definitely recommend. The recipe I made came out to taste more like muffins, so this pan can be used for both!

Product arrived in good condition. Now I can bake 1 dozen doughnuts at 1 time. This is my second pan.

I really like this product and I'm happy that I ordered two of them. It's heavy duty and cleans easily. I have never hsd anything stick to it. I am liberal with the cooking spray. I'm having fun experimenting with a few different recipes. You have to remember that these are baked donuts not fried.Also, when putting the batter into the pan, take a medium bowl, put in a gallon plastic bag that overlaps the sides,put the batter in and snip a small hole in the corner. Using this inexpensive type of pastry bag makes putting the batter in the pan, a breeze and no mess. I'm very glad that I made this purchase.

These pans are wonderful. A great gift for bakers. I got mine so I could make yeast, milk free and gum free doughnuts. Great if you have allergies. We made 3 batches so far and I'm still getting the cooking time right, much less than on recipe I have. I have a few suggestions. Buy at least two, three is better depending on the recipe. I only have one large and one mini and we had to use mini muffin pans... I don't like the batter to sit. Another really important thing is filling the pan can be messy so I put the batter in a quart or gallon size plastic bag and cut a small piece off one of the bottom corners. I use the gallon b/c it's easier to fill and less messy. It's kinda like making muffins. My favorite are vanilla with maple frosting. I use real vanilla beans(scrape out inside of bean) and real maple syrup. Now I'm going to gain weight because I love them so much...had to put in freezer to keep them away....hope they defrost okay. My whole family loved them and now my 4 year old and 18 month old have sugar highs.

I love this pan. I bought two of them because who makes only 6 donuts, afterall? I only wish they would make a 12-count pan for regular sized donuts. I used the recipe that came with the pan as well as another I'd found elsewhere and they were super-moist and slid right out of the pan. Although, I must admit that because of reviews I've read (and common sense) I used a light coating of non-stick spray prior to pouring the batter in my pans. This is an excellent product and great for making healthier treats for people like me who love donuts!
