Great for making eggs for McMuffin sandwiches

Bought three models of muffin top pan (this one, Wilton and OvenStuff) to make eggs for McMuffin type sandwiches. I'm putting the eggs on toast rather than english muffins and found the Wilton ones to be too small. Feel this has a better non-stick surface than the OvenStuff one. Each cup holds an egg plus filling. I mixed together 6 eggs, half a red bell pepper, some onion and broccoli and it all fit perfectly. Sprayed three of the cups with baking spray and the other three with a little olive oil. 350 degree oven for 10 minutes and they ALL came out flawlessly. They actually start to separate and lift out of the pan. VERY easy to make, clean and eat!

Exactly what I needed for making Pao de Queijo "buns"

This product is easy to clean, durable (heavy gauge), and easy to use. I needed the "Muffin top" pan to make Pao de Queijo "buns" because I love hamburgers and pulled pork sandwiches, but recently have been diagnosed with celiac disease and am now "gluten intolerant." The buns turned out perfect and puffy in this great pan. While I won't be using this for making classic crispy "muffin tops" (the best part of the muffin!) my decades of experience as an amateur home baker (who did go to cooking school) tells me this pan will work perfectly for that purpose. One caution: this is a very heavy gauge pan, and therefore, takes a bit longer to heat up than most pans, and also retains heat extremely well after removing from the oven, so 1) monitor your oven temperature carefully, and like Alton Brown recommends, use an oven thermometer and not the calibration markings on your oven controls, and 2) really be cautious after removing this from the oven because the pan stays hot, and therefore keeps cooking your item, long after you've pulled it from the oven. Give your items four minutes rest and then definitely pop them out of this pan or they will easily overcook. And of course, always mark a hot pan by putting a towel on the corner in the universal chef signal "this pan is hot." Great product, and I highly recommend it for the purpose I put it towards and its original intention.

Great sandwich bread shape

We use this pan for keto friendly breads and it’s been a huge help. It creates the perfect shape. Non stick and super easy to clean. Really glad we tried this out.

Love these pans...I purchased 2

I have only had this pan about a month and have used it heavily every week. I mostly use it to make ahead breakfast for my family and so far I have made; eggs, "pancakes", banana bread & cornbread. I will say keep an eye out the first time you use this pan for anything. I overcooked almost everything by following another posters suggested time and burnt a whole batch of cornbread. I only have to cook everything for just about 10min or less. In my oven I fit 2 pans side by side and since lowering my time I can make several batches of anything in such a short amount of time. For example I make pancake batter as normal and just fill each well with about 2tbls mix and this makes perfect sized pancakes. I either then put them in a container for the week or freeze them if I have too many. I can also confirm that each well will fit 1 xl egg which is perfect for english muffin sandwiches or smaller bagels. Love Love Love this pan!!! P.S. I do use a small amount of cooking spray rubbed into the wells. I haven't had sticking issues but I just wanted to ensure I don't. ****UPDATE****12/3/16 I have used these pans every week since I bought them. I most definitely need cooking spray. The times that I have forgotten to use the spray the eggs have stuck to the pan and didn't come out easily at all. Even if the eggs did stick the pans cleaned easily without scrubbing which I would think could ruin the pan anyway. Soapy sponge or rag is all I need to clean it out. Because the ease of cleaning I didn't drop the stars down because it still does what I expected it to do. There has been some spot discoloring but that hasn't affected cooking.

Perfect for ketoers!

LCHF Keto dieter here. This pan is amazing, it's highly rated in the keto community and has been a great tool for me in the kitchen! You can use it for eggs, cookies, keto bread replacements, crusts, the list goes on. Nothing sticks to it, it doesn't even appear dirty/greasy after I remove the food. No need to scrub. Definitely recommend and would buy again!

We love pancakes! If you do too, try this pan!

What a time saver - I won't make pancakes on a griddle again!! I love, love these pans (I bought 3). I use these for pancakes, how nice that everyone's pancakes are all done at the same time. Some I top with blueberries, some with chocolate chips, some with cooked sausage. I didn't use any cooking spray or shortening, and they popped out of the pans easily. I am used to using good quality pans (All-Clad, Anolon) and I give these pans high marks for quality. Thank you Chicago Metallic!!

Great pan and GREAT customer service

Great product, great customer service. I make omelet muffins in these. I thought the holes were too big, but my omelets muffins (flourless) come out like delicious, crusty popovers. I do coat the pan with either butter or a little bit of coconut oil. If you have any issues: call Chicago Metallic customer service... they are great! I had a sticking problem with a muffin top pan (all my others from them work fine.) I had a new pan from them in a matter of days. No return shipment of the old pan, no questions asked... I had photos. They didn't want them. They are a pleasure to deal with.

Best oopsie roll pan!

For low-carb oopsie rolls (also known as cloud bread) these are the best! I do give them a spritz with some non-stick spray for extra reinforcement, but the non-stick coating is nice. The buns come out perfectly shaped, very similar to the bottom of a hamburger bun. I like this pan so much that I ordered another one so I can make a double batch of my bread at once. A quick swish with a dish brush gets off any little crumbs, then I either just hand-wash or put them in the dishwasher.

Great for Hamburger Buns

I bought two of these, and I use them for making hamburger buns. They're perfect for the task. They make buns a little bigger than the grocery store size, which I find to be positive. When my friends are cooking out, they ask me to bring the buns. I can't post a recipe link here, but I did post a couple of pictures of buns made with these pans in the product images. Try searching for "emory cottage hamburger buns" for the recipe. (Beware! When people find out you can do this, you'll get requests.) One reviewer mentioned being hesitant about putting these in the dishwasher. That's how I clean mine, and I've had no problems. Edit: Sadly, the customer images are gone. There are pictures on the recipe page if you search for it. Another edit: Happily, the images are back. (August, 2016)

Don't use rough scrapper to clean.

Our family loves a recipe we have for homemade muffin lids. Years ago they did a 30 minute comedy on muffin lids on the Jerry Seinfeld show. My niece found them on line about 6-8 years ago, and I have been making those rather than in a cupcake tin ever since. I really needed two more, as each pan only holds 6 lids. So I just ordered the above pans, and these are even better than those I first got. I use just a little Crisco on the bottom and sides of new lid pans, and when they are done, they come out so much easier than the older ones. They need just to be washed like a regular plate, whereas my older two lid pans need a bit of scrubbing. These new ones are great. We share them. so I have to bake them every two weeks, unless I got energetic and made a double batch, but would need a very big bowl to mix.
