Inexpensive, medium weight and truly non-stick.....October 26, 2005 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
I tried my hand at berry muffins the other day. My main error was that I used paper muffin cups. The muffins tore when trying to remove the paper cups. The pan cleaned up with no scrubbing despite the appearance of having burned on berries/juice. Needless -to-say, I will not be using the paper cups again. They are totally unnecessary.
12/4 Update: fixed up some strawberry muffins and put batter (that contained coursely chopped, fresh frozen strawberries) in the muffin cups. The cups needed no sprays or other preparation. I popped the pan into the oven and voila! Wonderful warm muffins that popped right out of the cups. Burned on berry residue? Not a problem.
'Hint': You may want to cut a little baking time off and turn the oven down a few degrees from what the recipe says. The darker finish (typical of the non-stick pans) causes the pan to absorb more heat than the non-nonstick variety.
(Sighs)...when will recipes specific to the darker finish begin to catch up with the fact that Teflon, and its more healthy nonstick coatings, have been out for 40 years?!?
