Title: Awesome Angel Food Cake Pan
Review: This is the best angel food cake pan I have ever baked in. I absolutely love this pan. The cake was amazing. It was so moist and raised perfectly in the pan. I am very impressed with the weight of the pan and how easy it was to clean up. I have baked cakes for years and if you are looking for the perfect angel food pan, this is it. Thank you Chicago Metallic, you guys rock!

Title: Great Quality Pan for a Great Price
Review: I purchased this pan based on an America's Test Kitchen review in order to create a Tiramisu Ice Cream Cake. I was initially apprehensive due to the separating base, but the cake stayed in tact and had zero leaking. The non-stick coating was helpful in releasing the cake and the cake turned out beautifully. I'm excited to explore other recipes with this pan!

Title: Wonderful, high quality pan
Review: This angel food pan performs consistently and well. I am biased towards Chicago Metallic pans because they show up so often as a top winner on America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated reviews of cooking pans, both in their original form such as this one, and under the "Gold Touch" line manufactured by Chicago Metallic solely for Williams Sonoma until recently. [***The current Williams-Sonoma Gold Touch line is NOT manufactured by Chicago Metallic as they switched to a new (presumably cheaper) manufacturer).] After a while, I started ordering all of my pans from Chicago Metallic. They have all been consistently good.Good quality pans such as this one are slightly more expensive because they are made with more metal, which makes them a little more expensive to produce, but capable of superior heat retention. And the cost difference is not THAT much unless you're on a tight budget, especially spreading that cost over the life of the pan. Your baked goods will usually good faster in these pans, and this particular pan came with a recommendation to turn the oven down by 25 degrees to make-up for this difference from most pans. This pan has the nice slightly heavy weight of a good pan. So what exactly does all of this mean to you, and specifically, to your cake?1) Better "browning." A heavier pan like this one creates a very thin, crisp, flavorful, DELICIOUS brown crust all around your cake. This is called "browning." I first heard about it on Cook's Illustrated, where it is really important to them, and I'll admit I was a little skeptical, recalling flashbacks of the dreaded "toast" edges of my bread as a child. However, as I quickly learned, this "browning" is delicious. It doesn't taste like toast-crust [although I like that now :)] It's beautiful. And if you go back to using a cheap pan, it really can't brown very well!2) Even heating throughout. This means that your cake won't have uneven heating throughout, better consistency throughout. No colder spots while its baking.It all comes down to your budget, but if you can afford it and you love to bake, this pan is for you!

Title: A great angel cake pan! BUT it is not nonstick!
Review: UPDATE: Just baked another angel food cake, and I was honestly afraid i was NEVER going to get the insert clean! It took three hard scrubbings, and I finally resorted to using some cleanser(!) and scraping it. It appeared to be pitted and rusted in many places, but MOST of it came off, so it was just stuck on cake! At one point I honestly thought I had somehow used my old cake pan insert, and checked my charity box, but no. The work around here is to cut a piece of parchment paper that will fit in the bottom of the pan.Otherwise, I am very happy with it. BUT DEFINITELY NOT NONSTICK, and I would recommend lining the bottom of the pan! ORIGINAL REVIEW: My old pan, which has to be over 20 years old by now, had rust spots. It also did not have feet, and every time I used it I had to scramble to find something to prop it upside down on. So, I got this one, which was a little pricey, I thought, but I am very glad that I did. It is very heavy and sturdy. It should be easy to clean, being nonstick, and the insert with the tube fits well. The feet are high enough that even if a cake rises quite a bit, it will clear a counter. I have only used it once so far, but the cake browned nicely at the usual temperature. Yum! It was shipped quickly, packaged well, and arrived safely. I can recommend it to anyone who needs a new angel food cake or this type of pan!

Title: Perfect Pan for Pound Cake (& Angel Food Cake) Lovers! 🎂
Review: If you're into baking, especially Pound or Angel Food cakes, this 2-Piece 9.5-Inch Angel Food Cake Pan is a game-changer. First off, the removable bottom makes getting that fluffy, delicate cake out super easy without ruining its shape. 🙌 No more struggling with a spatula and hoping for the best!The three little feet on the top rim? Genius! They let you cool the cake upside down without it sticking to the counter or flattening. The 9.5-inch size is perfect for those classic tall and airy cakes, and the sturdy build means it can handle some wear and tear in the kitchen.One thing I noticed compared to other pans is how evenly this one bakes. No undercooked spots, and the heat distribution is on point. 👍 It's non-stick, but I'd still recommend giving it a light spray just for peace of mind.The only tiny downside is that it’s not dishwasher-safe, but honestly, it cleans up pretty easily by hand. For the quality and price, this pan stacks up well against pricier options out there. Highly recommend it for anyone serious about baking!
