Muffin Pan 6 Cup  Product Reviews

"I love that there is a 6-cup muffin tin available. It's so handy to have, if you want to make a half batch of muffins, or you have a muffin recipe that makes more than the standard 12. This pan will solve your problems! It is made of aluminized steel and has a darkened surface. This means you will need to lower the temperature of your muffin recipes by 25 degrees to get the best results. I'm not a big fan of aluminized steel for most baking purposes (for cake pans and cookie sheets, plain aluminum works best). However, for muffins, the darker surface of aluminized steel has advantages - the muffins get crispy on the outside while staying tender on the inside. Just watch the temperature you use - and check your muffins early to make sure they don't overcook! Calphalon muffin pans are truly nonstick - your muffins will glide out of the pan, and paper liners are unnecessary. "

"Sturdy pan, even baking. Minus one star because the rim of each well is hard to clean no matter how hard I try to keep it free from baked-on batter. I don't understand why manufacturers cannot make muffin pans in a solid piece."
