Farberware Soft Touch 9-Inch Square Cake Pan

The Farberware Soft Touch 9-inch square cake pan has substantial weight without being heavy or awkward, and the non-stick finish is excellent. I think it will endure much use over time. The soft-touch handle trim is a plus, and the broad handle rim allows a firm grip when carrying the pan to and from the oven.

Pan looked nice when I got it, coating seemed to be quality. I hoped I had found a pan that was nice enough to bake in and take to functions. On 1st use the lovely pan stained, apparently the coating itself and the biscuits I was cooking stuck to the pan....subsequent baking has resulted in additional stains. My 'pretty' pan is now ugly and you have to line or spray to ensure nothing sticks. I ordered add'l pans before using this one - I wish I'd saved my money, I had old stained pans that worked just as well.

I bought this pan primarily for broiling and have used it for over six months. Initially quality seemed good, but I quickly discovered that this pan easily stains. After broiling I sometimes have to scrub very hard to clean the pan - even after soaking the pan for two days.
