Nordic Ware Round Layer Cake Pan, 9 by 2.5 Inch

I am replacing all my bakeware with the Nordic Ware aluminum pans like this one. I always thought non-stick was the best for baking, but they never hold up, food sticks even when the non-stick is greased, and now all the warnings about health concerns is the final negative. I bought the Nordic Ware muffin tin to try and now have bought the round cake pan, the pie tins, and the square cake pan. I will be replacing all my pans with the Nordic Ware. It is beautiful, very heavy-duty, well-made bakeware that doesn't warp or discolor (I do hand-wash it and dry it in the oven). I grease it and nothing sticks, everything cooks evenly and comes out perfect. I am so impressed with this line of bakeware - it really is the best I've used, and I've bought far more expensive pans from Williams-Sonoma and other high-end stores that cannot come close to the quality of these pans. Highly recommend them!

I recently found these pans and bought two. They have a wonderful heavy weight to them unlike other pans made elsewhere. I made an upside down pineapple cake in one and it came out perfect! (Never made one before). I am so in love with these pans. They are big so I will be using these to bake tall cakes. Don't be put off by the three star reviewer, a little harsh!... Buy these pans if you want beautiful cakes made in affordable pans. Enjoy!

I'll have these cake pans for years, because I've used them a bunch already, and, being heavy duty, they cook evenly. I have two for stacking layers. I bought them for the vertical sides to layer cakes. They are NOT non-stick, but that's why I bought them.
