Chicago Metallic Professional 2-Piece 9.5-Inch Angel Food Cake Pan with Feet

Comment: This pan has a good weight to it (like all Chicago Metallic). I have made only one angel food cake so far and one old fashioned chiffon cake, and both came out great. I can't imagine buying such a pan that doesn't have a removable center piece. To cut down on scratching the inside, I use a plastic picnic knife for the sides and bottom. These pans are rarely used "greased". A good pan and I like that it has its own legs to stand on, so to speak. It also hold a full 16 cup recipe for angel food cake, wgich is a dozen eggwhites. ( See recipe in an old Betty Crocker Cookbook!) These cakes put all store-bought angel food cakes to shame!

Comment: A great cake pan. Two piece construction which adds in getting the cake out. Works well for all my baking needs.

Comment: I fell in love with the pan when I saw it. I had been searching for a cake pan with more than the average depth for a while,and I knew that I would be adding a much wanted and needed piece to my bakeware collection. Although it was advertised as a 2 piece cake pan, I did not consider the posible implications. I am skeptical to use it because I am afraid of leakage. Returning the pan is not an option. Until I am certain of the outcome, the pan will sit in my pantry. I feel as though I have wasted my money. Maybe the cake pan can be turned into a flower pot
If nothing else, I enjoyed the experience of shopping at Amazon. The prompt service was excellent.Until I know more about the cake pan, I can't give it the review it deserves

Comment: As another reviewer stated, the dimensions in the Amazon product listing are wrong! I haven't used the pan yet, so can't comment on its performance--but be warned that this pan is NOT 10.5" as stated, but is 9.5".

Annoying, since I bought the pan specifically because I was looking for 10.5" diameter. This pan was rated highly by Cook's Country (offshoot of Cooks Illustrated) so I'm sure it will perform well, but disappointed that Amazon didn't get the listing info right.

Comment: Love this pan!! I'm a relatively new (and enthusiastic!) baker and have baked some nicely browned cakes w this tube pan so far. The legs allow for faster cooling. Also, prepping the pan and having the cake slide out easily are a breeze because of the removable bottom. I've experience no batter leaks whatsoever. NOTE: make sure you dry pan properly after each wash; otherwise, some rust will form underneath the rim. I DEFINITELY recommend.
