USA Pan Bakeware Muffin Pan, 12-Well, Aluminized Steel

It’s the perfect muffin/cupcake pan AND it’s made here!
I’m not a professional baker, but I do bake a lot. I usually make three dozen (healthy) muffins every week. We use Greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce to replace the fat and whole wheat flour to replace all-purpose flour- some people report that a lack of fat (butter/oil) in a recipe will result in muffins sticking to the pan. That’s not necessarily the case. I began searching for a new muffin pan after losing a few too many muffins (as a result of sticking to the pan). This review compares the same muffin batter divided into three different types of muffin pans: nonstick, 100% silicone and this pan.NONSTICK: LOOK- produced a nice dark crust; muffins tops darker; TASTE- moist and delicious; EASE OF REMOVAL- a few stuck to the sides of the pan (even with the cooling in the pan for 5 minutes, and twisting as pulling the muffin out of the pan); WEIGHT- medium; CARE- dishwasher safe, hand wash recommended, baking spray difficult to remove from top of pan100% SILICONE: LOOK- the muffins needed additional baking time (10 extra minutes), and still didn’t produce a crust on the bottom and sides of the muffin; TASTE- muffins did not set well, they were denser; EASE OF REMOVALl- smooth, although one did stick- just needed to pop it out by inverting the pan; WEIGHTt- light, so light that it needs a baking pan to be placed underneath during baking; CARE- dishwasher safe, baking spray difficult to removeUSA PANS: LOOK- produced a nice crust, not dark; muffin tops lighter in color, even baking; TASTE-moist and delicious; EASE OF REMOVAL- smooth, no sticking; WEIGHT- heavy; CARE- dishwasher safe, hand washing recommended, baking spray comes right offResult- the silicone came in last place (produced a denser muffin, with no bottom/side crust). Nonstick- from just this baking it proved not as efficient as the USA Pans. As I am not a professional baker, having a darker muffin does not bother me- as long as it tastes moist and delicious. However, combined with past experience of losing a few too many muffins – due to sticking to the pan, I’m putting nonstick in 2nd place. The USA Pan, is heavy duty and heirloom quality. The muffins turned out beautifully, and the pan cleaned easily. I’ll update if the quality changes or if I try a better pan. Meanwhile, I’m going to enjoy baking healthy muffins for my family.

Great
This is amazingTruly non stick I did not spray or grease prior to making banana muffinsMuffins came out beautifully no issuesAnything made in the USA is attractive to me so I will continue to support this manufacturer🇱🇷Cleans very easily too no sticky messes on the tin

Really is nonstick
I love this muffin pan. I’ve used it three times since purchasing a month ago. First was with cornbread muffins. Everything cooked evenly. I was a little sceptical at nonstick claim, and lightly oiled the pan prior to putting the batter into the pan holes. No paper cups for me! The muffins fell out of the pan easily after slightly cooled. Cleanup was super easy and didn’t look like I’d baked anything in it.The 2nd time I baked banana nut muffins. I didn’t use any oil in the batter (only applesauce), and I did not oil the pan. Everything cooked evenly and cleanup was quick after plucking out the muffins once cooled. Easy!The third baking was today with blueberry muffins. I used very little oil in the batter, mostly replaced with applesauce. I didn’t oil the pan. Everything cooked equally. The only thing that stuck a tiny bit was the cooked blueberries. I easily plucked out each muffin after cooled down enough to handle. Cleanup was a little less easy than past bakes, but being it was baked on blueberries, it cleaned up admirably with warm water, dish soap & gently nylon scrubby.The muffin pan is made in USA, affordable andgreat quality. No “teflon” nonstick coating to worry about. I can see this pan lasting for years, since I take good care of my cookware.

Regular size and mini tins
I have no dislikes. Best tins for baking a variety of cups I’ve ever used. Muffins, cookies, and eggs bake beautifully. I have not used any baking spray and my egg cups release easily without leaving anything behind. Cleanup is a cinch when you are done.
