Chicago Metallic Commercial 8-Inch Round Cake Pan

 (6 customer reviews)

Chicago Metallic Commericial bakeware is excellent. These 8-inch round cake pans are very heavyweight and give even baking results. I rub a bit of vegetable shortening on these pans and then line the bottom with a circle of waxed paper. One can dust some flour over the shortening, too. For an 8-inch layer cake, I like to divide the cake batter between three 8-inch round cake pans. Make sure they are staggered on the oven racks for the best baking results.

This pan is one of the best in quality for the price. It is not too thin and bakes evenly. The only issue I have is that after use, it has some markings if something has stuck. I would recommend this pan if you do a lot of baking

I've had this cake pan for several months and up until about three weeks ago, I had no complaints. It seemed like a great pan. Well, the honeymoon period is over. I was greasing this cake pan with a butter wrapper when I noticed that the wrapper and my fingers came away with a gray residue. I immediately and repeatedly washed it but when I dried it with a towel the residue was still there and it's been there ever since (I've tried washing it at least ten times since with the same results every time). Now I don't know what exactly happened since I don't cut the cakes inside the pan and the outside of the pan has the same problem anyhow but I do know that it worked great until it didn't and there's a possibility that this was an isolated incident. But I certainly won't be buying from them again.
