Parrish Magic Line 8 Inch Round Aluminum Cake Pans

Comment: I had one 8 inch pan I recieved as a gift that I wanted more of but didn't know the brand. Turns out it was one of these Magic Line pans. When I went to order a second one I was distracted by other brands with high reviews. I ended up getting a 9 inch set of the Chicago line and a 9 inch square Fat Diddio pan as well as my second 8 inch of these. I was less impressed with the other brands. This line is so much sturdier. My white and yellow cakes come out so perfectly cooked and evenly but barely golden brown when I turn them out. Fruit upside down cakes come out perfect. The sides are strait and the whole thing is smooth with no name embossed or anything on the inside and they are thick! You can't bend these things. They will hold their shape forever. I can't think of anything to improve with these. I wish I'd ordered all the sizes I wanted in these instead of the other brands.

Comment: These pans are beautiful. Heavy duty and make a beautiful cake.These are clearly the best pans I've ever had. I'm going to replace as many of my dark non-stick pans with this type as I can.

Comment: Pros: strong, sturdy, heavy duty, bakes evenly, made in USA
Cons: None

I love these pans. Purchased them directly from the company based on reference from a baking book that was published from the 80's! Aluminum pan bakes evenly without the tough thick crust you find in most retail pans (dark steel or aluminized steel). Rounded edges are also nice and wider than those found on Wilton pans. Also a matter of fact, I owned several Wilton pans and these are far superior to the Wilton ones. Thicker, more durable, and better made. This company has been around for four generations and still makes their pans in the U.S.A.

Comment: Bought 3 of the 8" pans. They are a nice heavy weight, good quality pan. They bake well without burning the bottom of the cake. Very happy with the purchase and plan to buy the 1" pans soon. You won't go wrong with these.

Comment: If you love to bake cakes this is a great pan for the price! I have 3 of these 8x2 inch pans and use them often to make 3 layer cakes. The layers bake evenly and come out great each time. You will not need cake strips with these pans.
