KitchenAid 24-Cup Nonstick Aluminized Steel Mini Muffin Pan, Beetroot

Wanted a non-stick mini muffin pan and decided on this because I have numerous Kitchen Aid products (blender, food processor, etc etc etc) that I adore and have lasted for decades. I didn’t even know KA made stuff like this! Went with the sage green for fun and am so glad I did because it’s even prettier in hand. Made my first recipe in it the day after it arrived and wow they weren’t kidding when they said non stick. I did NOT use any kind of cooking spray or such. Used a plastic spoon (as other reviews said metal could scratch the pretty surface) to gently try to lift the muffin up to remove and it simply…came out. Cleanly! As for the rest, they also came out so easily that if I didn’t have a topping that I was trying not to disturb I guarantee I could have simply turned the pan upside down and dropped them all right out. Also, everything browned perfectly and evenly, and then the pan cooled down remarkably fast, which was great since I only have the one pan and the batter was enough for filling the pan twice. So the second batch cooked just as perfectly as the first. I’m really, really happy with this product and highly recommend it.

I was excited about this product and the beautiful color. KitchenAid has historically been a quality product in my opinion. This was an exception. After the first use, the color was already coming off and the entire pan had warped slightly to where it was no longer sitting flush on the counter and wobbled. It is also not even remotely "non-stick" as I had to scrape (like, "I broke a sweat" scraping) egg or muffin out of it each of the 3-4 times I used it. I finally threw it in the garbage as I wasn't planning on trying to clean it once again. Perhaps I received a lemon but just be aware.

This is my new favorite mini muffin pan, which I didn't know was a subcategory my favorites would contain until I became a stay-at-home-mom to a mini-muffin monster. The first time I used it, I sprayed it with Baker's Joy and the muffins popped right out. The second time I used it, I skipped the spray and put the batter straight in and the muffins still popped right out. It cleans very easily, just a quick swipe (x24 so it still take a minute or two) with a sponge and a rinse will do the job. It does say it is dishwasher safe, but it doesn't fit in my dishwasher. This purchase has made me want to slowly replace all my baking pans with the matching color. I'll be coming back, KitchenAid!

This mini muffin pan is massive and I love how much batter it can accommodate. Clean up is WILDLY easy but I did learn the hard way NOT to use metal utensils when taking things out of it. I scratched a teeny tiny piece of the color off when trying to extract one of the muffins. For this reason, don't rush and use plastic utensils when working with this kind of pan. If you want it to last, it'll require some extra care but it's gorgeous, does the job well, barely requires any effort at all to clean and I'm so happy with this purchase. I can't wait to buy more baking pans and trays from Kitchenaid. I've never used their oven products before but so far, I'm impressed!

great product. good quality. matches my Blue Velvet appliances and utensils well.
