5.0 out of 5 stars This one is a keeper, February 10, 2007

By	Marianne O. Schmidt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had bought muffin top pans a few years ago, from a different manufacturer, and they were just plain awful. I really liked the idea of a pan like this that actually worked, and after reading the reviews, I decided to buy two of them. They are even better than I had hoped for. I have multiple allergies and have to use non-wheat flours, so I was understandably skeptical when I mixed up the first batch. They turned out perfectly. With many non-wheat flours, you won't get the rise and height that you would with wheat flour, because the gluten just isn't there in the right quantity. That aside, the muffins were excellent, and very moist. The muffins slid right out with no problems, and nothing stuck. Does it get any better than that? This is one of the few non-stick pans that I've used, that actually didn't stick. Quick release and nothing is left behind. I have several pieces of Chicago Metallic backeware; they are a little more expensive than other brands, but there is very high quality, and they are worth every penny. I am seriously considering buying two more of these pans. They do just what they are supposed to and are very easy to use. This is the best non-stick item I have ever used, and it is the only one that worked the way it was supposed to. I'd give it ten stars, but Amazon only goes as high as five.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect muffin tops!, January 11, 2007

By	Big5starc "big5starc" (United States) - See all my reviews

I purchased 2 of these pans, and have used them approximately a dozen times. My muffin tops have come out perfectly with each use. I plan on ordering more in the future, since they were hard to find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muffin tops are the new family favorite!, August 14, 2007

By	Grace Doll (Fanwood, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

I just received my muffin pan top and have tested two muffin recipes (Pillsbury Banana Bran & Giada DeLaurentis' Lemon Ricotta) with delicious results. The instructions tell you to reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees and to reduce baking time by 10 minutes, which seems to work. The non-stick surface truly is non-stick - you don't even need to use cooking spray. The pan also cools off very quickly - I find that I can remove just-baked muffins to a cooling rack, immediately refill the tin with fresh batter, and by then, the pan has already cooled enough to handle with bare hands. I use a slightly-heaping two-inch diameter ice cream-style scoop to portion out the perfect amount of batter. Being flat, the muffin tops are much easier to store and transport than traditional muffins - they also freeze & thaw well. The kids love them, too - they're much neater and easier to eat, and no messy cupcake liners to deal with! Since the tin makes only 6 muffin tops at a time, it does make sense to own two or more - I plan on ordering another one. Happy Baking!
