Is this pan non-stick? I'm looking for a pan that is NOT non-stick so that I can cool the cake with the pan upside down.

It does not have a non-stick coating. It's pure anodized aluminum and cleans up easily.

It doesn't have a non stick coating, I am so done with those. I have not tried to turn it upside down though, the cake does release from the side, I don't decorate cakes really as I just frost in the pan.

No, this pan is not non-stick. You have to grease & flour it in order for the cake to release. However, I do not cool my cakes upside down. I simply let it cool in the pan on a rack for about 5 minutes, & then invert it onto another rack to let it cool completely. Hope this helps!

No its not, but I usual my wait about 10 minutes or so b4 I flip the cake over and leave the cover over it.

It does not have a non-stick coating. It's a great pan, though. Rarely buckles in a hot oven, heats evenly and does wash easily even though it doesn't have a non-stick coating.

Mine started sticking too.. made ugly cakes and I threw it out. I know they were meant to not stick for more than using them a few times. I sprayed with the flour spray thinking maybe it would work better but some still stuck. The pans cost too much not to be better than this. I thought I was buying the best brand of pan. I washed by hand each little cake hole. Nothing was sticking on them that would have caused this problem. Just disappointed. If, anyone has an answer to this I would really like to know.

It is not non-stick which is why I ordered this pan. I like to pan-fry and fry shrimp et al and this pan is perfect! It really cleans up nicely ~ I hand wash the pan even though I think it said dishwasher safe. My pan has never scratched and I use it often.

Most cakes will need to cool completely because as they cool they will pull away from the sides. If the cake is sticky, it will stick to the pan the longer it cools. Make sure to grease the pan, though. I use a cooking spray that has flour in it and that generally does well.

I wouldn't consider it non-stick, but it is a different material than the top/sides (meaning I think it slides around too much if they are calling it non-stick). It's not worth returning, but we use it in a dresser with no border like a changing table has, so lifting our toddler on it makes it slide.

No it does not have non stick coating. But if your pan is brought up to temperature before adding the food,nothing should stick

I'e had no problems with cakes sticking in this pan. I do use Pam in it first. I love it.

When I bought it I would have thought it was non-stick due to the high quality look and price. Unfortunately it really isn't. I use a trick by not cooking at to high of a temp and it seems to help. They are really high quality pots and pans, just the downfall food seems to burn into the bottom of them. Ive bought non stick pans from Walmart that I would prefer over these honestly.

it is not a non-stick surface. You have to make sure you oil, pam, butter the pan well in order for items to not stick. It's a little learning curve if you haven't cooked like this before, but I love my SS skillets way more than the teflon coated skillets I've had in the past.

No, it isn't nonstick. I greased & put flour in it. I used it to bake my batter in to make cake pops. I didn't have a problem of my cake sticking to the pan .

I used what the mix recommended. It's non-stick, but I checked with fork at midpoint and at end just to make sure. When batter turned into cake as fork showed I pulled it out of oven. It came out fine. Most important is to use a good amount of Pam on divider blades and everywhere else. Non-stick doesn't work as well as you'd think. Use/spray oil. If not its a bear to clean. I found out the hard way.

No this pan is not what it claims . You still have to use some oil. You have to use nonstick utensils and when it starts to stick you need to season it again. The more you use it the better it gets. But it does not cook with out the oil. Also if you use anything harsh to clean it it will ruin it.

Yes and Yes. The bottom corners of the pan do look a bit rounded, but i assure you that you'll have a straight-sided cake with good corners! Don't forget to line the entire bottom with parchment. Most of the reviews say this pan is non-stick, but it absolutely not.

It is NOT a non-stick set. However, heating of the pans properly and using butter or oil, I have never had anything stick to these pans.

I, too, wondered if this might happen. I baked one Angel Food cake since receiving the pan, the bottom and sides held sufficiently so that it cooled just fine. I am pleased with it, and cleanup was easy, too. I am planning to bake a chiffon cake for Thanksgiving.

Hi, I bought and used this pan. Love t. To let you know I you use fondant the cake should be delivered or used that same day. I found that it will slip down. I also kept mine in the fridge to keep it firm. I worked somewhat. My problem was that the people changed the deliver date by 2 days so it slid. I also followed the directions to coat the inside the old fashioned way. Crisco and flour. It came out perfect. I hope this helps. Sandi
