Wilton Excelle Elite 12-Cup Muffin Pan

 (8 customer reviews)

The pan works extremely well: bakes and browns evenly. The thing is so non-stick that pam beads up and hardly does anything. I haven't brought myself not to use pam, but given the beading, I doubt it does much good. The muffins do stick slightly in the corners unless you let them cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then they slide right out. The whole thing is non-stick, so cleaning is a breeze and baked on spillage slides right off.

The only problem is that with the handles, which are tremendously helpful in keeping your oven mitt out of the batter or baked good, the pan is so long that it does not fit front to back in my oven, which is a full size range. I thus need to turn it sideways and cannot put two pans on one shelf. Not a major negative, but something to consider.

Not that these things are likely to rust, but an easy way to take care of them is to hand wash them and put them back into the still-warm oven to dry. Works like a charm.

I just received this yesterday and made blueberry muffins today. They cooked to a nice golden brown and, with the help of a little Pam spray, popped out nicely when done. The wide handles made it easy to remove from the oven with bulky oven mitts. It also cleaned up easily. I would recommend this muffin pan.

Works great for muffins and cupcakes. Was recommended by PBS' America's Test Kitchen. I actually order two more AND......a mini muffin pan!
