Best for Authentic Angel Food Cake,

This review is from: Wilton 10 in. Angel Food Cake Pan (Kitchen)
I had bought a non-stick angel food pan in the past and it did not work well. The cake didn't raise like it should have and just didn't turn out right. My aunt has been making Angel Food cakes for 40+ years and she told me I had to get the old fashioned Angel Food cake pan that the cake would stick to and help it to rise. Taking her advise and the long searching, since these are very hard to come by (all you can find are non-stick) I got 2 of these (1 for my sister) and it worked perfect. The cake rose like it was suppose to and it really wasn't that hard to get out of the pan.
So my advice to anyone wanting to make the perfect Angel Food cake (and the advice from my Aunt) do NOT use those non-stick pans. THIS is the pan to use!!!!

A true angel food cake pan - finally!,

This review is from: Wilton 10 in. Angel Food Cake Pan (Kitchen)
Wilton has made a two-piece angel food cake pan just like one your grandmother had! This type of pan makes perfect angel food cakes. The pan has three metal "feet" so you can turn the pan over for cooling the cake. After cooling, the tube lifts out of the pan, making removing the cake easy. This isn't a single use pan; you can make many types of cake in it.
The pan is aluminum, which is the best metal for baking. I own many pans by Wilton, and they all perform well.
You might want to comparison shop; I found this Wilton pan at Michaels for $18.
Cheap, thin metal - tube insert very warped,

The first thing I noticed when I got this pan home was that the tube insert was extremely warped. It was just shoddy workmanship and certainly showed little to no quality control. I also was surprised at how thin the metal was. It just looked and felt cheap. I hoped that wouldn't matter when baking a cake in it. After all, I told myself, Wilton is a well-known brand.
After removing the cake from the pan, I saw that my concern about the warped insert was justified. The whole cake was tilted or crooked -- not something you'd want to serve to guests. After frosting it, it looked even more crooked.
And when cleaning up the pan, I found that it was very scratched up after only one use. That was enough to convince me that I would be returning this pan.
