Fat Daddio's Anodized Aluminum Round Cake Pans

I am a huge fan of this pan and all of Fat Daddios. I own several different products from them and love each one. Their pans are nice and heavy, bake like a dream, and I am simply amazed at how well they clean up. This pan has straight walls to it and the cakes come out nice and straight, making my decorating a breeze. My cakes rise evenly and release from the pan effortlessly. You will love these pans!

I saw a review about the made in China label and think that this reviewer should try before he complains about something. There are lousy products that come from there but there are also great products that do as well, namely my Fat Daddio pans.

For those who don't know aluminum, like copper, provides excellent even heat distribution, which is essential for all serious cooking and consistent results.

My cake came out superb and the pans were easy to clean. Fat Daddio's is just an awesome name for a pan manufacturer too. I plan to get far more Fat...Read more

I recieved these very same pans but for a higher price. I also went to my local restaurant supply and found them front and center with all the other baking supplies. What I am saying is that these pan are in use at bakerys and pro kitchens all over. That is a good sign. If you go to a bed and bath store you will find an abundance of cake pans, all nonstick and all good for about a week because a simple scratch, and they will get scratched, whther by cleaned or depanning and they are useless. Lets put it this way. Non stick baking things are not for rigorous use and not for reliable results. Some recipes even require the pan not be slick becaue the product being baked needs to "hold" onto the sides to rise correctly. So I bought and used the fat daddios. They are a bit lighter than some of the other pro...Read more
