Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been using Wilton products for years and usually their quality is acceptable. This muffin pan however, isn't. If you take a close look at the blow up you will notice that rather than being pressed out of a solid piece of aluminum, like the decades old model in my kitchen, this much newer model is formed in several pieces - a top and then 12 separately formed cups. Look carefully and you'll see a fine crack right around the top where the cups join the top. You'll see it even better if you bake in it. Yesterday I produced the contents of a bake sale for Relay For Life in about 3 hours after my daughter forgot to buy vanilla the night before. In the process I used every muffin pan in the house. Today I got around to washing it all. The antique all-in-one piece version is immaculate and back in the cupboard, ready to bake. This Wilton pan has a fine line of embedded grit/grease/chocolate batter permanently embedded in that crack. Non-stick or not, it is miserable to clean. I know that Wilton is not the only muffin tin maker who has taken to this bright idea. Move heaven and earth to find a one-piece muffin tin, even if you must pay three times the price. You'll save every penny in aggravation!
