KitchenAid Non-stick Muffin Pan, 12 Cup, Evergreen

The non-stick coating of the pan works well so far, but I'm concerned about the durability. I didn't notice if these scratches were there or not before using the pan, so it's possible they were already there, but I can only assume they came from sliding the pan on and off the oven racks. I don't *plan* to use any metal instruments on the pan, but will admit to occasionally using a butter knife around muffins in other pans in the past, and I'm not sure how well this pan would hold up to that.

This 12 cup muffin pan is great! The non-stick works and everything slides right off, which makes it ridiculously easy to clean even if you don't just shove it in the dishwasher. We've used it a bunch of times and run it through the dishwasher each time and it has not shown any problems. No rust, nothing stuck, just super easy. This pan is our new go-to for muffins and cupcakes!

This 12-hole non-stick muffin pan is an undeniably impressive piece of bakeware, distinguishing itself through its substantial size and robust, hefty construction. From the moment it's handled, it conveys an immediate sense of superior quality and inherent durability, far surpassing the often-flimsy alternatives found on the market. The deep, dark green finish is not merely aesthetically pleasing but also indicative of a high-quality, resilient non-stick coating designed for consistent performance. The pan's remarkably sturdy feel is a testament to its premium manufacturing, ensuring it maintains its structural integrity and resists warping or bending even under prolonged exposure to high oven temperatures. I personally utilized this pan to bake cupcakes, and the results were nothing short of exceptional; the cupcakes turned out perfectly formed and released cleanly from the non-stick surface without any sticking or residue, simplifying both removal and cleanup. Beyond its excellent baking performance, the pan demonstrates considerable versatility. Its robust build and consistent heat distribution make it suitable for a wide array of baked goods beyond muffins and cupcakes, including savory egg bites, individual quiches, or even mini bread loaves. Considering its generous capacity, formidable construction, flawless non-stick performance, and broad utility, this muffin pan represents outstanding value for its price. It is a reliable, exceptionally well-made tool that is certain to become an indispensable staple in any kitchen, catering to both amateur bakers and more experienced culinary enthusiasts.

This non-stick muffin pan is sturdy, heftier than most, and has extended ends that make it easier to handle when removing from the oven. It's oven safe to 450 F, and I didn't hear and popping or see any warping when I baked muffins in it at 400 F. It's heavy enough that I do need to use both hands to transfer it when the cups are filled with batter. I lightly brushed the bottom of the cups with ghee before adding the muffin batter, and they were easy to remove after baking with very little residue left in the pan. It would have been easy to just wipe the scant bits out of the cups, but I ran it through the dishwasher just to see how it did, and it came out perfectly clean. The only concern I have with the pan are the two tiny holes on the underside of the rim on both sides which might possibly be a point where rust could form. At the end of the day, there's no denying that this muffin pan is vastly superior to the standard variety pan. I love it!

Works as anticipated! Non stick and my brownies came out clean! Lightweight and durable. Didn’t bend after baking Good quality with no chemical smell Priced well!
