Carbon Steel Muffin and Cupcake Pan, 12 Cavity

$24.90 $55.00

Thin muffin tins warp, and a warped tin bakes unevenly for the rest of its life. This one is pressed from 0.8mm carbon steel in a single forming step, which is why it holds its shape and heats evenly instead of developing hot spots that brown one row ahead of the others.

Weight is the point

Heavier gauge steel takes longer to come up to temperature and then holds it. That steadiness is what gives you twelve cupcakes that match rather than four pale ones at the back.

Care matters with non-stick

Hand wash in warm soapy water. Skip the dishwasher and the microwave, and keep metal utensils, scouring pads and abrasive cleaners away from the coating. Treated properly the surface lasts for years; treated carelessly it will not.
