Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not a fan of Wilton pans, because they typically are harder to assemble than Kaiser pans, and not as durable. This one at least is non-stick, although I would still recommend spraying it lightly with some Pam.
My chief complaints about this pan:
1) It's very small. The 4" size is cute, but at less than 2" tall, it makes a rather small dessert.
2) If you put the bottom of the pan in correctly, your crust/bottom of your dessert will be 1/8" below the sides of the pan. So unless you grease it well or freeze the dessert before removing it from the pan, you're going to lose your crust. You also get a slight indentation with the crust, which looks weird (the cake hangs a little over the edge of the crust). Also, because extra butter or other moisture won't leak out a little, your crust is likely to be soggier than you'd expect.
If you put the bottom in upside down (I do this for cheesecake), you won't have this problem, but your pan might leak. Be sure to spread your crust to the edges and press it tightly to ensure there aren't any gaps.
3) It doesn't clean well. Little bits of crust and batter get into the grooves, and a toothpick barely fits in to dig that out. If the butter in your crust does leak, it will get stuck in the grooves and doesn't wash out easily. I found this out after putting one pan away (I have several of these), because the residue leaked out in the cabinet. If you soak it to get this stuff to ease out that way, you might get some rust. I bought several of my pans through an auction, and the previous owner claimed to have used them once, but many of them had rust on them.
4) When you release the clasp fully, the sides of the pan can completely separate, and you'll have to guide it back in. When this happened, I noticed that some batter was between the adjoining sides, and had to clean that out too. In one of the nine pans I bought, the spring on a brand new one was faulty and kept popping. Luckily, I discovered that before putting any batter in!! That would have made a huge mess in my oven.
I sell cheesecakes, so I have to have novelty pans like this, but otherwise, I wouldn't bother with this pan. The novelty is fun, but not worth it unless you LOVE heart-shaped stuff. I had previously bought Wilton's full-size heart springform pan and sent it back after one use. I just wish Kaiser made the novelty pans!
