Is the center "stem" flush with the top of the pan so there is a "see through" hole in the cake after baking ?

Not quite flush .... I used it both ways when baking ... Don't fill the batter to the top ( leave room for bunt to rise ..../ giving me the hole I desired and then filled it to the top and it left a nice area after cooking to fill with desired topping ...This is a fantastic product !!... I love mine !

No. It is slightly below. You could fill it less full so as to create a definite hole. 3/4 of a cup fills it even to the top of the stem. An extra tablespoon makes it nice and full.

Yes! Yesterday I baked the pecan pie muffins in the pan and they turned out beautiful and with the hole in the middle of the muffins make them look like a little wreath! So happy with this pan and encourage all to buy this for your baking adventures :)

Mine was like that also but frankly it didn't seem to matter. The lip of the top should at least have some overhang on the bottom. My top and bottom did not fit snugly. The bread come out great anyway. I do wish it was glazed inside but other than that it has worked fine. If it is a gap that you can actually see in the side though then it isn't right and I would send it back. Hope this helps.

Well, I don't -- I just check the valve to see if I can see daylight through the hole. If you don't see food particles, you're probably OK.More important, in my opinion, is not letting the round rubber seal in the lid go too long before you take it out, wash it, and re-oil it with vegetable oil. You don't want that to get brittle.

I baked twice with it and there was no dome in the cake. The high temperature of the oven causes the doming but then a goodquality pan will make a difference in the way heat is distributed. Nonetheless, it is the best pan I've had, sturdy, will last youa very long time. The straight sides make very nice cakes.

If you can enlarge the pic you can see a hole in middle of dish. I can send a better pic of hole from office tomorrow if needed. I believe tho you can see it from Amazon site.

If you were to pour 1/4 cup of liquid, it would just cover the center "hole." However, if you were to put that much batter in, it would rise up and fill in the "hole" at the top. I did this on one occasion just to have an indented "muffin" (rather than a donut) where I could put berries.

Best cake pans I've bought. The sides are straight out and not tapered/rounded down. I would refer to the sides as helping with spilling over because they are straight out and not rounded as most cake pans are. With the sides being straight out it helps in placing them in and out of the oven or whatever you use them for. Hope this helps.

There is a hole on the back side, but it is covered with transparent plastic. The front appears like it has no hole whatsoever.

I believe the answer is in how long you bake this cake.It is a fine line between cooked and over cooked.My cake still cracked.I also found this cake to be very dense.

Yes the top is "see through", I am not sure it is glass. I must admit that I use this item almost daily. I am concerned about the quality of the pan in terms of the grade of stainless steel, I still like the pan and related parts. Overall, I am pleased with the item.

I think they must all be like that because mine is too. Its like its a little crooked or something. I still use it all the time and it makes great bread so I never returned it. I've had it a couple years now. The lid doesn't seem to effect the cooking, its more or less just one of those annoying things you get use to.

The cake does get stuck. Mostly close to the center point. I ended up bending the sweeper to clean under it and wasn't able to get it to lay down as flat as before. I haven't used it since so I'm not sure how much it will impact the ability to get the cake out cleanly.

Fairly straight. I put two cakes(vanilla/choc) side by side and there is no gap at the top or bottom. I spray the pan with the spray with flour and it never sticks. Love the pans

Our metal underside That supports the clay baking sheet had a short ring that had become slightly dislodged during shipping.Make sure this is well seated so the upper is rotating without rubbing.

You bake it lying down. The top side is the back side I believe. You tie it closed with some twine... cake mix should amost fill the bottom. When it bakes it expands upward....

It is not totally flat. It has a raised ring around the bottom and then flattens out. So, if you were to back a cake and turn it upside down, you would have an indent on the cake bottom where the pan is raised. The ring is about 1/2 inch wide and about 1/2 inch in from outside of the pan.
