Questions & Answers
The Angel food cake remained in place while cooling upside down, but was easily removed with a gentle spatula loosening around the edges. There is no need for or recommendation for lubrication.
I simply waited for it to cool down on its own. I've never had a cake that required haste. In most pans, removing an Angel food cake is difficult. Because of this, I dislike making them, but a friend expressed an interest in learning how to do so.
The pan measures 8 1/4" on the inside and 10" on the bottom.
The pan is made up of only one piece. I have it, and while I adore all of the fat Dadio pans, I prefer to use my old tube pans with the removable center because we make so many pound cakes! Fat Dadio pans, on the other hand, are by far my favorite.

My Fat Daddio tube pan arrived a few days ago. It was used to make a five-flavor pound cake that turned out beautifully! The cake came out perfectly clean and without sticking after I greased and floured the pan first. I usually use a Bundt pan, but my 5-flavor pound cake is too big for a Bundt, so I needed a bigger tube pan, and thanks to Fat Daddio, my search is over. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this tube pan. My new Fat Daddio Tub Pan is my absolute favorite! I didn't care about the reviews that said their Angel Food cake stuck because I don't make Angel Food cakes and have no plans to start.
Your cake will not stick if you treat it properly. However, there are two issues with the pan that I am concerned about. removing the cakes from the oven I'm guessing everyone thinks the same way I do. The cake is removed from the pan using a flipping plate. The first point of concern is: Because the tube part of the cake is taller than the sides, the plate wobbles when you try to flip it. It's difficult to maintain a grip on. The second point of concern is: To flip the cake, you'll need a lip on the top edge to help you grip it with your fingers. The only thing on top of this pan is a large spaghetti-style roll. You can't keep your fingers on the table. I guess I'll go back to using the antique pan my grandmother gave me. I was ecstatic to get my hands on this pan. Finally, I was let down.
A label is glued to the pan's bottom. It's held together with a rubber cement-like glue, which I usually find very easy to remove from products. This is not the case. The glue cannot be removed from the ribbed surface of the pan. I tried dish soap, De-greaser, and a few other things. To remove the glue, I used Solvit, Goo Gone, and even duct tape. Nothing seems to be working. It appears that the glue is irreversible. On the surface of a cake pan, this isn't what I'm looking for. Also, after reading other customer reviews, I'm concerned about the differences between pans made in China and those made in the United States. Indonesia is one of the most populous countries in the China manufactured the pan I received with the permanent glue.
The money spent on this pan was well spent. I make a colossal cream cheese poundcake all the time. I was using a standard 9-inch bundt pan, and the cake would always fall apart once I emptied it. Someone advised me to get a larger pan. This one piqued my interest, so I went ahead and gave it a shot. My cake was completely intact when I took it out of the oven. It was ample in both size and depth. Because it is a much larger pan than the standard, I believe it is best for larger, denser cakes. Although the pan appears to be light in weight, it appears to be durable. This was a good buy.
Likewise, you will! With tears in my eyes, I set out to find a replacement for my antique angel food pan, which had apparently been abducted by aliens. br>br>After a few trial and error episodes of buying and returning rinky-dink rinky-dink rinky-dink rinky-dink rinky-dink rinky-dink rinky-dink rinky-dink rinky- I'm tickled pink because I found the Fat Daddio's pan among the dink tube pans. br>br>From beginning to end, this pan is of the highest quality. br> It's solidly built, with no interior seams or rough edges, and it has a nice heft to it. br>br>I hope my beloved abducted pan is doing well wherever it is, but this one is so much better, and I'll be using it for a long time!.
This pan is well-made and durable. I've only made tube cakes with it twice so far. I sprayed the pan with non-stick cooking spray before baking. PAM for Baking is a nonstick cooking spray. The cake comes out of the pan with little to no effort once it has cooled, and cleanup is also a breeze.
I was getting this pan out this morning to make a coffee cake in it when it occurred to me that I should give it another look. This pan has been in my possession for over a year and has seen a lot of use. There hasn't been a single cake that hasn't worked out. It evenly distributes heat, ensuring even cooking of the cakes. It's very easy to clean up. I wait until the pan is completely cool before immersing it in hot, soapy water. The pan appears to be in excellent condition. Pound cakes, coffee cakes, angel food cakes, and any other recipe that calls for a bundt pan are all baked in it. I thought the price was reasonable for such a high-quality pan. I'll definitely purchase more Fat Daddio pans in the future.
It was a lovely, tall pan that baked my cake beautifully. My only gripe is that after removing an angel food cake from the oven, you must flip it over and place it on a wine bottle to cool. This pan's central hole is too small to accommodate a wine bottle.
