Wilton Aluminum Angel Food Tube Cake Pan - Natural Anodized Aluminum Baking Pan - Made Without PFAS - Will Not Rust - Offers Even Heating - 10 x 4 Inches

I purchased this pan in order to make an angel food cake for my son's first birthday. Now, I'm no baker and that's that really anything new. So when I received this pan, I was a bit confused as to why the whole center pulled out (It definitely makes sense after using it :-)) I was so afraid that this pan would leak that I put water in it, and sure enough, the water leaked out. However, what I did not understand, is Angel food cake batter is thicker than water and did not, in fact, leak out. It made the perfect, spongy, well done angel food cake. The pan itself seems durable, and since it does come apart, easy to clean. I definitely think it was worth the money I paid.

Boxed angel cakes need a large capacity tube pan -- and this is perfect for that purpose. It has enough volume so that there's never any overflow; and the seal is excellent -- since it comes apart there's never any leakage. Well made; lightweight for what it is, and easy to clean and store.

It is the perfect size for several of our favorite recipes, especially variations of angel food cake or bundt cakes. The pan has held up well and I am very pleased with it.

This is better than using a non stick coating type pan when baking an Angel Food Cake. However, do not use anything metal to remove the cake from the pan when cool only use a non metal item to help when removing the cake from the pan. Also, this pan is at the correct diameter for using when making an Angel Food Cake according to the information on the boxes the cake ingredients come in.

This pan is exactly what i needed! Perfect for chiffon cake - not coated and 2 pieces which makes removal a breeze! The cake turned out perfectly; this pan is definitely a keeper!A word of caution - if you have a really thin batter there may be a chance for some spillage but if you're making angel food cake or a chiffon cake then you won't have any issues at all. I would have preferred the metal to be a bit thicker but for the price i can't really complain. It did the job well and i look forward to using it again and again -- simply a great product for a great price!

I needed it

Don't buy. Inner core rotates around inner insert. Inner insert fuses to entire pan under mere 350 degree F oven and takes major effort to undo. I threw away original carton & packing so vendor APPARENTLY wants me to re-pack at my expense & take to UPS instead of Whole Foods for easy return. No clear indication of how item needs to be packed for UPS return.

I searched for a pan that would work to bake angel food cakes and finally found this one. It works so great! Most of the pans were smaller and required a soft drink bottle to rest them on. The only thing is that I could never find a bottle that would work. I tried various things to make this happen, and the cake pan would end up falling over. When I found this one, the little legs on it took care of my problems. I also love the fact that it is a little larger and works with most boxed cake mixes. It just simplifies my life because angel food cake is one of my favorites. The only thing that I've found is that the insert is a little difficult to clean and sometimes warps slightly, allowing the batter to leak out. I have dealt with this by putting it on a pizza pan when I put it in the oven.
