USA Pan Bakeware Mini Round Cake and Cinnamon Roll Pan, 6 Well, Nonstick & Quick Release Coating, Made in The USA from Aluminized Steel, 15-3/4 by 11

I was shopping for a pan to make hamburger buns in. I know it isnt necessary but it adds that finished, polished looking edge and helps keep sizing standard. The pan was perfect for the recipe i found which made 6 buns and they popped out cleanly with no sticking. Quick hand wash with a soapy dish cloth and back in the cooling oven to dry fully. The size was an absolute match to the burger patties we had; no overhang of beef or mouthful of bun alone. Looking forward to trying some other bun recipes and possibly cakes.

After a couple of excellent batches of homemade hamburger buns I decided to upgrade from DIY folded foil ring forms to a bonafide bun pan. Researching pans I saw this same USA Pan mold recommended fro buns (and sold at a much higher price) on the King Arthur Flour site so I ordered it here. It wasnt what I expected or need. In my opinion the holes are too deep (1-1/4 inches), and the sides are slanted like little pie pans. My buns came out too big and I think the sides come out too browned and crusty, likely because the pan is very thick. The buns I made came out with a pie-shaped profile and the amount of dough I prefer for buns (90 gram) only crested 1/3 of the height above the mold. To get a higher, more classic-looking crest, it takes about 110 gram of dough, which is a huge bun. My straight sided, 1-inch-deep, 4-inch-diameter DIY foil rings do a much better job. The sides come out soft (like a classic bun) and the tops have a pleasing crest rising 2/3 above the base. The pan itself is a great piece of equipment if you are keen to make super-size muffins (muffin tops?). My husband has been using it make mini blueberry and peach pies that have nicely browned sides and lift easily out of the pans. But its not being used for buns. Im back to the foil rings until I find the right pan—one with straight sides and 1 inch deep.

I have several different USA Pan products in my kitchen, and they are all uniformly excellent. Nice and sturdy with a good heft to them, and the non-stick coating works very, very good. You can bake without having to use fat, flour or parchment to pretreat the baking surface/pan in order to keep things from sticking, and items slide right off when youre done baking. A quick run under the faucet with a soapy sponge is all it takes to clean this stuff. Simple! I also like the fact that they are made here in the US; I have no problem spending a little extra to support domestic manufacturing. This companies products are well made, function well, and look great. Ill be buying more.

Really enjoy these pans. Nice weight to them, heavy for metal, but not as heavy as glass. Not as difficult to juggle around as glass. I want to get rid of all my other metal pans! The hamburger buns you see in my photo just slipped out of the pans. I quick swish of dish soap and a rinse with hot water and the pans bead up and with one of those microfiber towels, have them back in the cupboard fast. I have had no warping as other people have mentioned. I came back to buy the sheet pans and thought I would leave this review as I had purchased the mini cape pans. I cant imagine negative reviews. The finish on my pans look great, still, the bad reviews make me want to hold off buying other pans...even when I know how wonderful they are. Nope, I am going with what I know and can see in my own kitchen. My husband thought he was sneaking bun out on me before I took the photo!

Cinnamon rolls

Perfect for fancy hamburger buns, and individual desserts too! I was trying to make relatively uniform buns but not having much success. I use a rich egg bread dough and shape them like a pretty Kaiser roll. Unfortunately the dough always seemed to have a mind of its own. I didnt want them bakery perfect, but I thought a little consistency would be nice. I now measure out 3 1/2 ounces of dough, shape, and place in the pan. They come out just perfect. The straight sides of the pan keep the dough contained and my rolls are not spread out and flat any more. They rise to just a little over the top. Unfortunately this pan is too big for most toaster ovens, even my large Breville toaster oven. If youre using a mix or scratch cake or muffin batter, fill the wells only 2/3 full. I like this pan even better than a muffin pan for corn bread and biscuits. The larger flat bottom really makes it easier to use those things in the bottom of a bowl with chili or stew over the top. as compared to a regular muffin pan. Mini pies with pie crust, filo dough or puff pastry work great. Meringue shells also turn out perfect.

This is my third pan I have purchased from USA Pan Bakeware. They are well worth the price. My oldest pan has not warped. It still releases my baked goods and cleans up easy. It looks great, and I expect this one to be the same.

I use these for making gluten free hamburger buns. FYI, I grew up in a wheat farming area and I love the taste of wheat. However, as I grew older, I developed all sorts of allergies. Now my doctors tell me I have to avoid tree nuts, gluten and lactose. Bummer. But I love hamburgers & bread & eating. So I make my own bread, including hamburger buns. Products like this make my life bearable. The trick is this: half way through cooking, turn the buns out onto a cookie sheet dusted with corn meal or parchment paper so that theyll brown on the bottom. I do love hamburgers and good hamburgers needed edible buns. I recommend these over trying to make those stupid rings out of aluminum foil that many of the gluten free hamburger bun recipes suggest. I tried that and will not do that again. This pan makes slightly smaller buns, so realize that either your buns will rise higher than normal or youll need to use this to make about 9-10 buns if your recipe (like mine) makes 8 of the larger buns. Hope that makes sense and is useful to fellow gluten free cooks.

I bought this to make individual quiches. It works great. The cooked quiches come out of the pan so easily and the pan cleans up easily. It is a heavy, so I dont need to worry about warping, and I love that it is made in the USA!!

I am amazed! I finally have decent gluten free hamburger buns! This pan is sturdy and truly non stick. I love that it is made in the USA and I highly recommend!
