USA Pan Bakeware Nonstick Round Cake Pan, 8-Inch, Aluminized Steel

Best cake pans ever. Period. They are heavy and sturdy, bake evenly, never stick, and clean up easily with a gentle hand wash. I’ll never consider another brand of pans!

I’m a loyal USA Pan Bakeware customer. I’ve bought numerous products from this company. I love to bake & cook & I also love ease of removing said items & clean up. I love the pans so much I’ve bought silicone liners to boot in hopes to extend their lives. The best nonstick pans I’ve ever had. I’ve had other brands such as Oxo & Calphalon, however this company consistently puts out a better & more reliable product. Last I checked, I believe it was also a USA based company & that is hard to find these days; I hope it still is. I’m also big on the “R”’s; reduce, reuse, recycle so I try to buy items & protect them for long term use.

These are great pans - heavier than my old aluminum guys. Following the instructions from the manufacturer I washed them in warm soapy water, dried with a soft cloth before using. I greased the sides & bottom of the pans with oil and then a light coating of flour. The instructions say that cooking spray is not recommended. I'm note sure it you couldn't spray a paper towel and then apply the oil to the pans in that way. My cake was perfect and slide out onto the cooling rack without any prodding at all. Clean up was supper easy - just some warm soapy water again and then towel dry. One note - the label with product description and care instructions is glued to the inside of the pans. It is a bear to get that label out as it wants to stay stuck to the corrugated bottom of the pans. I finally soaked the pans in warm soapy water and had to carefully scrap the bottom of the pans with a plastic scraper as I didn't want to scratch the pans. They are a little pricier than the aluminum type but are well worth the additional cost. These pans should last the baker a long time. Great quality cake pans.

Very well-made in the U.S.A.! This is the 2nd most used 'accessory' I use in the Gormia air fryer. - the 1st are the round parchment paper liners Not that these have anything to do with culinary talent (with which I have zero understanding) - it's that these two things make air fryer cleanup MUCH faster and easier (very easy to make and minimal cleanup is my idea of a great recipe).Originally I found a somewhat smaller pan (which happened to be made in that 'other' country) - yeah, it was $ cheaper - but so is its construction - which was VERY apparent when I got the USA Pan. Its heavier weight, and superior finish put in a different league - and I appreciate the quality.

Weightier and sturdy cake pan. I've been using parchment rounds with this but never have any problems with the cake releasing. It literally just falls right out after baking. The non-stick coating is unbelievable. It feels like it's made from quality material. Cakes have had even browning. Easy to clean but the edges where the metal curls under has rusted. Even if you try wiping it dry after washing water gets trapped under the edge. I've only been handwashing this to try and keep the coating lasting as long as possible. A pricier product but it's the best cake pan I've spent money on. I was so impressed that I went and bought a second one to make layered cakes without waiting for one to bake first.

I have made many cakes in these pans since receiving them. They’re fantastic. What I like about these pans is that they heat/bake evenly, have straight sides, have the ridged bottom to improve heat distribution, and the nonstick coating comes in handy when removing cakes from the pan and cleaning up after my bakes.I recommend using these with Wilton cakestrips. The cakestrips are a strip of water soaked fabric that wraps snugly around the outside of the cake pan during baking. This results in evenly flat cakes by letting the sides cook at the same temperature/rate as the middle. This reduces doming and produces a taller and flatter cake with sharp corners at the edge. These pans pair well with the cake strips because the sides are perfectly vertical. The downside to this is that your cake pans will not nest together in your cabinet for storage. The upside is that you can use them with cake strips to get perfectly straight cake sides with a beautiful flat cake top.

Cakes never stick in the pan. Pan is very easy to clean. It's a good heavy solid pan, not at all flimsy. Best of all the cakes cook very well and taste great.

I had a recipe that called for an 8 inch cake. I only had 9 inch pans and for a moment I was going to get the cheapest 8 inch pan that would deliver in time until I remembered how amazing my USA pan muffin tin was and I decided to pay the extra for the USA 8 inch pan. Well I am so glad I did because my cake pan liners did not arrive in time and I was in a rush to get a cake done and delivered and USA did not disappoint. Nothing stuck to the pan (I did not butter or flour it). It cooked perfectly and evenly and adhered to the recipe to the minute. It’s in a league of its own and will be your best cake friend for life… especially when you are in a rush and need the cake to come out perfect!
