Chicago Metallic Angel Food Cake Pan 2-Piece Tube Pan with Removable Center

This Chicago Metallic non-stick 2-piece Angel Food Cake pan had a great review on the Cook’s Illustrated/America’s Test Kitchen site and I wanted to replace my old Nordicware 2-piece Angel Food Cake pan. I made three Chiffon Cakes in the Chicago Metallic cake pan. The first time - there was a big puddle of batter that leaked out of the pan onto the table when I picked it up. I had to use aluminum foil to wrap the pan; put it onto a baking sheet then into the oven. It still leaked more in the oven during baking. This first cake was so-so. But I was trying a new Chiffon Cake recipe that a friend gave me. The second time, I used my regular Chiffon Cake recipe. Before pouring the batter, I already wrapped the pan in aluminum foil then placed the filled pan onto a baking sheet and into the oven. This cake baked up much better than the first one. But while it was in the oven - the pan leaked a big puddle of batter again. I starting having second thoughts about keeping this pan. After washing this pan (the non-stick finish makes it much easier to clean up than my old pan); I put the pan together and placed the empty pan onto the table. I pressed down on several spots in the pan felt it move or shift up slightly. Apparently, there was a small defect with my new pan that didn’t appear obvious. The tube part of my pan wasn’t laying completely flat - which explained the batter leaking out of the pan. Before trying to return it and wait for a replacement, I decided to try to fix it. Holding the tube part; I gently pulled at a few spots of the pan bottom until it seemed flat then tested this pan with another cake. For the third Chiffon Cake, I still wrapped the pan in aluminum foil before filling it. The pan was placed on a baking sheet then into the oven. Success! There was only a small spot of batter that seeped out but it was contained within the lip of the pan. This pan is a keeper. This cake baked up so tall and fluffy!!! Never had my Lemon Chiffon Cake bake up like this in my old pan! Gave some pieces of this cake to friends and they’re all asking me when I’ll be baking this cake again!

Love this angel food non-stick cake pan! Cake turned out great tasting and came out of the pan nicely. Definitely recommend

the weight and non-stickiness is cool. the size pans makes a good sized cake. the little feet handles keep the cake from touching the counter when you have the angel cake flipped, much better than using a Bundt pan for an angel food cake. my cake came out perfectly

Great pan. This a lot like one I had years ago. Glad I purchased it.

Durable, easy to wash, lite weight angel food cake pan. Worth the money

If you're into baking, especially Pound or Angel Food cakes, this 2-Piece 9.5-Inch Angel Food Cake Pan is a game-changer. First off, the removable bottom makes getting that fluffy, delicate cake out super easy without ruining its shape. 🙌 No more struggling with a spatula and hoping for the best! The three little feet on the top rim? Genius! They let you cool the cake upside down without it sticking to the counter or flattening. The 9.5-inch size is perfect for those classic tall and airy cakes, and the sturdy build means it can handle some wear and tear in the kitchen. One thing I noticed compared to other pans is how evenly this one bakes. No undercooked spots, and the heat distribution is on point. 👍 It's non-stick, but I'd still recommend giving it a light spray just for peace of mind. The only tiny downside is that it’s not dishwasher-safe, but honestly, it cleans up pretty easily by hand. For the quality and price, this pan stacks up well against pricier options out there. Highly recommend it for anyone serious about baking!

Have used 3 times and my angel food cake came out perfect every time.

This is a great product. It is well worth the money, it is made of great material and is size is perfect. Non-stick and is scratch resistant. I would definitely recommend this to all. This would make make a great gift to anyone.
