Chicago Metallic 6-c. Premium Nonstick Muffin Top Pan  Product Reviews

"I love this muffin top pan! It cleans up so easily and is nice and skinny to fit in any drawer or cupboard. The only downside to it is that it takes more muffin batter to fill the cup. So a batter that would normally make 12 regular muffins, would only make about 5 or 6 muffin tops. So, a suggestion would be to double your recipe. It takes a few batches to get it down, but I like them a lot better than regular muffins."

"This pan works great. I used it for batch after batch of muffin tops and it just wipes clean with no problems. Even the bits of blueberries that were in the muffins wiped up with ease. My only problem with this pan is that I should have gotten 2 of them. It's just so good, one isn't enough!"

"I just received this pan yesterday and have already used it to make Pumpkin Whoopie Pies w/a cream cheese filling this morning. The muffin tops turned out absolutely perfect! I'm ordering a second pan today. Couldn't be more pleased. Hint: I used parchment paper "oiled" with real butter during baking, which helped keep the muffin tops nice and moist."

"I just received my muffin pan top and have tested two muffin recipes (Pillsbury Banana Bran & Giada DeLaurentis' Lemon Ricotta) with delicious results. The instructions tell you to reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees and to reduce baking time by 10 minutes, which seems to work. The non-stick surface truly is non-stick - you don't even need to use cooking spray. The pan also cools off very quickly - I find that I can remove just-baked muffins to a cooling rack, immediately refill the tin with fresh batter, and by then, the pan has already cooled enough to handle with bare hands. I use a slightly-heaping two-inch diameter ice cream-style scoop to portion out the perfect amount of batter. Being flat, the muffin tops are much easier to store and transport than traditional muffins - they also freeze & thaw well. The kids love them, too - they're much neater and easier to eat, and no messy cupcake liners to deal with! Since the tin makes only 6 muffin tops at a time, it does make sense to own two or more - I plan on ordering another one. Happy Baking!"
