What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this cast iron muffin pan for its superior baking performance and heirloom quality. Users consistently report that the pan achieves exceptional heat retention, resulting in evenly browned crusts and moist interiors unmatched by standard bakeware. The factory pre-seasoning allows for immediate use, though achieving true nonstick performance requires dedicated personal seasoning. While the pan's inherent weight and the necessary maintenance for cast iron present minor challenges, the consensus is clear: the durable construction and outstanding baking results make this a worthwhile, long-term investment for serious bakers.
Know before you buy
The pan comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil and is ready to use straight out of the box. You do not need to perform an initial seasoning process before your first bake.
This pan features six individual cavities, allowing you to bake six standard-sized muffins or cupcakes per batch.
No, this cast iron pan should be hand washed only. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, dry it thoroughly immediately after washing and apply a light coat of oil.
Because the pan is naturally seasoned, it offers excellent non-stick properties. However, for best results and easy release, we recommend lightly greasing the cavities before adding your batter.
This cast iron pan weighs approximately 4.92 pounds. It is significantly heavier than a standard aluminum tin, which contributes to its superior heat retention and durability.
While it is primarily designed for oven use, the cast iron construction is heat-safe and durable enough to be used on a stovetop if you are experimenting with specific recipes that require it.
