Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Square Cake Pan
Customer Review: Nothing but good results with All-Clad so far
Summary: 5 Stars
I logged on to Amazon to encourage others to share in my delight with this great All-Clad baking pan. I just read the review from the baker in Texas whose cake was burned & soggy. Bummer! It looks like she's followed good scientific method in identifying the pan as the problem, with one exception; she used the same recipe each time. Based on her experience I can't say I blame her for just wanting to return the darned thing. But, I wonder if the time and temperature for this recipe might need adjusting with this presumably thicker, heavier pan. Just a thought...
That said; I'm thrilled with my All-Clad square baking pan. I've always used whatever the department stores had to offer for pots and pans. I'd gotten used to replacing bake ware every few years as pieces rusted, discolored or ill flavored the food. I stumbled upon my first piece of All-Clad, the 1 quart sauce pan, on sale. I bought it as test. I was very impressed in how well my cream sauces blended. (It used to take a lot more effort to keep a sauce from breaking.) Until I'd used these products I'd never realized what a difference good cook-ware could make on how well a dish turned out. Even heating is key! I became an All-Clad convert. I now have a full set of All-Clad stove-top cook-ware. But, I still had that rusty bake-ware.
So I started looking at cake pans. I admit to a bit of sticker shock when I checked out All-Clad's offerings on Amazon - $79.00 for one round cake pan? How often does one make a single layer round cake? But, I did some research on Amazon and some cooking magazines and sites, like America's test Kitchen. I discovered that only All-Clad's bake ware had all the features I wanted. It's dense, made of bonded stainless steel, there's no Teflon coating so I can cut right in the pan, and its dishwasher safe. (No rust, hurrah!) All-Clad is also very well respected. It was tops in the comparison test I found, loosing marks only for it's price.
I decided to find a relatively inexpensive and versatile pan as my bake ware test piece. I chose the 8" square cake pan, and I'm very glad I did. I've had the pan for a couple of months now and use it as often as possible. I've done a lot of holiday baking and turned out brownies, quick breads and cakes that have better texture and are more evenly done than anything my department store pans have ever managed. It even releases baked goods better than the "non-stick" pans I've used. I'm sold on All-clad. I've had nothing but good results so far with all of the products I've tried. All-Clad IS VERY expensive. But, I've gotten what I've paid for, and plan on continuing to build a bake ware set. I see it as an investment. I suppose I'll save in the long run, by not needing to replace pieces every other year. I'll certainly enjoy the better baked goods. I'd like my next purchase to be the small cookie sheet; but frankly, its gonna be whichever piece next comes up on sale. I'd advise anybody thinking about a first-time All-Clad purchase to do the same - find a piece on sale, experiment with several recipes and see how you like it. Good Luck!
