Chicago Metallic Non-Stick Checkerboard Cake Pan Set

Chicago Metallic 21206 Specialty Bakeware Checkerboard Cake Set

If you enjoy wowing your friends and family with amazing cakes, you should seriously consider adding this Chicago Metallic checkerboard pan set to your cookware collection. Crafted from high-quality, noncorrosive metal and featuring a two-ply nonstick coating, the set contains three 9-inch round cake pans and a plastic batter divider. Just place the divider in a pan, pour two alternating batters (one dark and one light) into the three circles the divider creates, then remove the divider and bake. Stack the finished layers so the colors alternate. When your cake is cut, a luscious, three-layered checkerboard masterpiece will be revealed. The nonstick finish makes cleanup easy, and the pans are dishwasher-safe as well. If you choose to wash them by hand, though, use a nylon pad--rather than steel wool or abrasive cleaners--to protect the nonstick surface. This set comes with instructions and a recipe for chocolate-and-vanilla cake. --Marianne Painter
