Fat Daddio's Stainless Steel Round Cake and Pastry Rings

Comment: I bought the 8x2 cake ring, and am quite happy with its performance. It arrived in perfect condition, not bent or warped. I expected it to be thinner and flimsier, but it's actually pretty thick material and has held up so far. The interior seam is also much smoother than other rings I've used. I was a little put off by the price at first (it's just a circle of metal, after all), but it's well worth it.

Update: Because I was satisfied with the 8x2, I ordered a 9x2 ring. I'm just as happy with this larger size, and it arrived sturdy and in perfect condition.

Comment: I own several of the stainless rings from Fat daddios and they are great! I have used other brands over the years including Matfer, and found these to be equal or better in quality and MUCH less in price. I can buy 3 of their rings for the price of 1 of Matfer's. The weight is very nice and their selection of sizes and shapes is mind-boggling. I also like how the Fat Daddio rings do not have an overlap where they are welded. Instead the rings are joined together and welded. They look like the weld is smoothed down so it creates a nearly seamless feel to the ring. I always hated cleaning the other brands as food would get caught up in the welded joint. These are a great value and very well made!

Comment: I ordered this product on two separate occasions and both times it was received defective. The 8 Inch x 3 Inch product was not perfectly round. On a good note... Smaller Fat Daddio rings like the 8 Inch x 2 Inch were received in perfect condition.
