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

I bought these to replace my old rusty 'non-stick' muffin tins.These tins are high quality and excellent value for the money. These work well and I have had great success with making muffins so far in these pans. They are not skimpy and will make decent size muffins or cupcakes. I made a recipe that was supposed to make 6 muffins but I was only able to fill 5 of these with the batter.They cook evenly and seem to distribute and hold heat well. They are heavy, not flimsy at all. They have a really nice silicone non-stick coating but I still use liners or spray. Due to the coating, they are very easy to clean.

Needed to replace my current "non-stick" muffin tin as it wasn't cutting it when baking egg based, savory muffins in it. I own some other bakeware pieces of this brand and have been very happy with them, so got this muffin tin for baking my egg bites and such. Used it this weekend and was extremely impressed with how well it baked (nice even growing) and released my egg bites, absolutely no "stickage' whatsoever. Very easy to handwash, so the fact that it is not recommended to put it in the dishwasher isn't an issue for me. Love that it's made in America and is a family owned business too. As a retired chef, I believe that for the price, quality and longevity this company's bakeware is the best you can buy!

Incredible quality. These tins are a joy to cook with. They are extremely sturdy, and the temperature is consistent throughout. Absolutely zero sticking to the tin so long as you grease each cup accordingly. I imagine these are the kinds of tins that ny grandmother cooked with in her day. You will pay a bit more for this tin but you will have it for a lifetime. It was well worth the investment for me.

I bought this pan to make corn bread muffins to keep in the freezer for a "quick bread". My husband eats bread with every evening meal and sometimes we're out of baked bread. I also tend to make Southwestern dishes fairly often with leftovers so there's no advance notice. I just open the frig...see the right leftovers and start cooking. Corn bread muffins to the rescue for the "must have" bread that fits the occasion perfectly. So....I just received this pan a few weeks ago.I've been experimenting with different corn bread muffin recipes so I've already used the pan 4 times. That was enough for me to form an opinion on this item. I love it~ I purchased 500 name brand cup cake liners really cheap here on Amazon so I'll use them for anything I bake in this pan. The instructions on the cardboard sleeve it comes in says it's not recommended to use cooking spray and I'm too lazy to grease each tin individually with butter...lol. There's a learning curve to using this pan.First of all, it really holds heat quite well. It's almost like cooking with cast iron. This is nice solid pan with good weight to it. You have to learn that a little lower heat than listed in the recipe or a little shorter cooking time might be the way to go with some recipes. My muffin recipe called for a 400 degree oven. That was too hot and caused the bottom of the muffins to get too dry before the top of the muffins got that nice golden tinge to them. I use a 375 degree oven and take the muffins out when the toothpick comes out of the center dry instead of judging by the color of the top of the muffin which is a nice rich, deep yellow instead of golden brown. After playing around with a few batches I've got it down pat and produce perfect muffins every time. I'm looking forward to trying other recipes too. This is a nice pan to bake with so I might do a little more baking. Clean up is a breeze too. Any little drips of batter I've baked on comes off with a soft soapy sponge. This is not dishwasher safe.

This is a sturdy muffin pan that bakes evenly and has cleaned up well with minimal hand washing effort.

I've used plenty of brands over the years and in my opinion USA Pans are the best. I've got a couple of baking sheets from them and I have had them for many years. They are just better quality than anything else I've ever used and work better than any other brand I've had. Even after years of probably weekly use, they have not warped at all and they bake very evenly. When it came time for a muffin pan, it was a no brainer which brand to buy. These pans are so sturdy and well made that in the long run I'm saving a lot of money because I don't have to replace warped pans. They are a great value for the price and I really can't recommend these enough. They are the best!
