I make my toddler muffins a lot (helps to get some veggies in and honestly it’s probably 50% of his calories), but don’t want to use silicone (heard concerns about heating it up), obviously don’t want nonstick, prefer not using muffin liners all the time, but a little unsure about the stainless steel options on Amazon. All of them seem to be 18/0 stainless (the weakest) and curious why no one more reputable than Amazon is selling them and why no sturdier options are available.
Is there something I’m missing as to why target, William Sonoma, etc don’t sell stainless steel muffin pans? Any recommendations that I may have missed?? Thanks friends!
Just realized my nonstick muffins pans are all scratched up so its time to switch them out. Anyone here have experience with stainless steel pans? Do they stick? Are ceramic a good option? Would also like to avoid spending a ton as i dont make muffins often

Looking to purchase new muffin tins. Mine have gone through the ringer. Any suggestions? I feel like mine are currently cooking the outside way too fast
I’m hoping someone with experience with one has a specific model or brand of cast iron muffin pan they’d recommend.
I use cast iron skillets and loaf pans a lot, both cooking and bread making, so I have a basic idea what I’m doing and know how to care for them.
The lodge ones are attractive but the cup sizes are small. I’d prefer something with more conventional sized cups. Ideally 6-8 cups total. I’d mostly be using them for muffins, cornbread, and Yorkshire puddings.
I need to buy a new muffin tin and see several different kinds and wondered what everyone's preference is?
I've seen the usual metal ones (which is fine cuz I use cake goop), I've seen metal ones that come with parchment liners, and I've seen both silicone liners and metal-framed with silicone cups (1 pce)
I've read silicone sweats as they cool and have to be removed asap...anyone have an opinion on muffin tins?
I have only baked cookies, cupcakes/muffins, banana cake, cake (those from boxes yknow), and cheesecakes. I wanted better pans to bake cakes, breads, and other pastries or goodies. Might aswell try on pies. Any recommendations I should buy?
I want cupcake/muffin pans with 24 cavities for standard sized cupcakes and one with 24-48 cavities for mini cupcakes. I want cookie sheets that will bake/brown the cookies as evenly as possible.
Need some new ones. Kind of curious about silicone ones too if anyone has any input. Any brand suggestions for regular or silicone? Thanks!
I am very new to baking and looking for some advice.
Do cheap vs expensive muffin pans matter? I’d like to buy a mini muffin pan and the price range is from $12-$40. Does one “perform” better than others? Hoping to bake muffins for kids, so not using harmful chemicals in pans is important to me, but I don’t know what else is important when picking muffin pans.
Thanks for your advice 🙏
Anyone recommend a nice muffin/cupcake pan?
I make oven baked eggs a lot in them. I spray non stick spray but it leaves a weird spray/food residue I cant get off.
Look up on Amazon a silicone pan (cupcake) or get silicone liners for the one you already have (cheaper). They great for cookies so betting they'd be good for baked eggs. I'd still suggest a tad of oil (EVOO if you like flavor or avecado or grape seed if you don't would be my choices there and maybeva tad of butter for flavor...it's just so good with eggs).
Cooking spray often seems to have additives that end up leaving a sticky residue on whatever pan it's applied to. I usually just wipe olive oil, or some other vegetable oil, on the pan before putting the food in.
I'd like to know what you all use for healthier muffin tins to cook with thats also non stick? My friend uses ceramic coated one but when I looked it was aluminium based, which I prefer to avoid.
For those who make a lot of egg bites (to make a bunch and then freeze), what kind of muffin tin is the best nonstick option? I'd like silicone especially if they can go in the dishwasher but am not sure if they are nonstick or if butter/oil need to still be added. Thank you!
Hi! I am having the hardest time deciding on a muffin tin. I am currently choosing between an aluminum pan from Nordic Ware, or a stainless steel pan from TeamFar. I like that nordic ware seems high quality, but I really wanted to avoid aluminum if possible. However, I am also hesitant to shop from an Amazon brand. I am very torn and wish there were more options! Just wondering if anyone has thoughts on either option—thanks!
I really want to get away from chemicals as much as I can. But it seems there aren’t any name brand stainless muffin pans and they all are random brands on Amazon.
Can anyone recommend something that has held up and you feel confident it is actually stainless and not just a shiny metal coating?
My wife asked for a mini cupcake pan for Christmas this year. Anybody have any suggestions for quality brands? There are several on Amazon but I don't always trust the quality for some of their products. Thanks
I'm trying to buy some new bakeware, but I am a bit overwhelmed by the options. It appears that the most common options are aluminium, brushed steel, stainless steel, and hard-anodized aluminium. Which (if any of these) would you recommend as the best choice for someone interested in experimenting more with baking?
I love the nordic ware sheet pan. It's aluminum.
As far as muffin tins are concerned, I have cheap pans but I use silicone muffin cups. They're awesome- nothing sticks!
Edit- also, get a silpat. It is also really great for keeping things from sticking.
Has anyone tried these yet? I like that they can be put in the dishwasher easily, and I don't have to use more than I need, but do they stay rigid enough while filling/baking?
I'm thinking about switching to silicone cupcake pans and cookie sheets, but I want to hear some other opinions first. Do they heat as evenly as metal ones do? Are they easy to clean? Any anecdotal experiences or recommendations?
I’m on the hunt for a muffin pan to make my one year old some copy cat Starbucks egg bites. I bought an “all natural” aluminum muffin pan on a whim, but now I have concerns about aluminum leeching into the food. I’m debating on returning it to get something else, but what would be a better option?
