Know before you buy
Angel food cakes must be cooled upside down to prevent them from collapsing while they set. The three feet elevate the pan, allowing air to circulate underneath so the cake cools quickly and maintains its airy structure.
This pan is designed specifically for thick, aerated angel food cake batters. It is not intended for thin, liquid-based batters, which may leak through the removable bottom seam.
No, this pan should be hand-washed only. Dishwasher detergents can cause the aluminum to oxidize and discolor, which may affect the pan's performance over time.
For angel food cake, you generally should not grease the pan. The batter needs to 'climb' the sides of the tube and walls to rise properly; greasing the surface can cause the cake to slide down and lose its height.
The steel rim provides structural reinforcement to the aluminum body. This prevents the pan from warping under high heat, ensuring it stays perfectly round for consistent baking results year after year.
