The Cake Pan Buying Guide
- If youre baking traditional cakes, you want a pan with a little edge. And were not talking edge as in attitude. Flared or tapered tops might be fine if youre baking bread or muffin-type dishes that meant to rise and puff out, but its not much good for cakes or anything you need to decorate around the sides. Most bakers prefer straight sides that come up at a right angle.
- Most kitchens will have more than one cake pan. If storage is tight, look for sets of pans that can nest one inside the other, making it easier to save space.
An Overview On Cake Pans
You wouldnt know it from the drama and flair that surrounds shows like Cupcake Wars and The Great British Bake-Off, but baking is a lot more science than art. You can measure your ingredients and set your timers perfectly every time, but theres still one variable many bakers forget to factor in: The bakeware.
A good cake pan isnt just a handy receptacle for holding that yummy batter. Its an element that can radically change the taste and look of your dish if the material, size, and even the color arent just right. So whats the best one to buy?
As with most kitchenware, it depends on what youre baking. Lets start with the material. Most cake pans are made of metal and theres a reason for that. Overall, they heat up as quickly as they cool down.
Mind you, not just any metal will do. Stainless steels durability and resistance to rust makes it a great material for skillets and sheet pans. But it conducts heat slowly relative to other metals, making it a cheaper choice for cake pans.
Aluminum, on the hand, heats up perfectly which may balance out the fact that its not as durable as a pure metal. It may also impart a funny taste to acidic foods like tomatoes or citrus. To mitigate that, look for higher-gauge aluminum pans or those made with anodized aluminum. This is aluminum thats been subjected to an electrolytic process that hardens the outer layer. Without getting into the science, it also makes it non-stick and non-reactive with acidic foods.
