What is the difference in taste between the muffin top and the regular muffin? Are the mufin tops becomming popular?

This pan isn't necessarily for muffin tops. Its for Whoopie pies. Although I have never made Whoopie Pies. I use this pan for eggs. I put a whole egg in each section and bake it at 350 for 10 minutes and use the eggs on breakfast sandwiches.

I like them because they aren't so big and bulky as regular muffins. I also like that I don't have to use muffin paper on them. I also think they are more moist. Which makes them taste better.

The difference is a texture thing. It all depends on whether your favorite part of the muffin is the crunchy crispy top (often with a streusel or other topping baked on) or the soft cakey part in the middle. The muffin tops have a little of the cakey inside part, but are heavy on the crisp topping. There is no difference in flavor.

The taste would be what the recipe is and should have nothing to do with the pan itself. I use this pan for making whoopie pies.

I haven't, but the cups are deep for popovers, so bear that in mind if you try it for muffins.

I have 2 pans, one with 6 wells, about 1/2 inch deep and 4 inches across, the other pan has 12 wells with diameter of 3 inches. I love my pans...I don't like a muffin with so much "breading" in the middle..The muffin top pans are the answer for me. I have introduced them to several friends, giving them as a gift and they are all now proud owners of "muffin top pans"..."Kudos" to the clever designer! Dottye M.

We do English muffins all the time without a problem. There is a button that allows you to cancel the toasting cycle, so the mechanism lifts the toast up. The only issue we've had was with wider slices of bread, but if you give the bread a little push as it's lowering, it goes down just fine.

In response to whether the muffin tin is stainless steel or not -- it is shiny like stainless steel. Although it is not as heavy as my other stainless steel cookware, comparatively speaking, muffins do slide out easier than they do from my aluminum muffin tin. I do notice that muffins from my Fox Run muffin tin do not rise as high as those baked in the aluminum tin, even when the dough is from the same batch. Having said all that, I am still please with the Fox Run stainless steel muffin tin.

I do english muffins all the time and no sticking. Nothing gets stuck. I LOVE this toaster!!!

I don't feel that it is the same. The coconut oil is wonderful to cook with while the coconut butter is not. It is mused as a topping I think. Two different products for 2 different purposes.

I have used them both ways. Muffins I just pour the batter in, and they slide right out. For cupcakes, I use paper liners. No need to grease or flour the pan.

These are the "mini-tartlet" pans. They are NOT a standard muffin size. This pan is used for 24 bite-sized muffins and tartlets. You can buy mini-tartlet petite cupcake liners that will fit nicely in this pan, some with very festive or holiday designs. Amazon does have the Nordic Ware standard size pans for 12 cupcakes. I, personally, will most always pay a little more for Nordic Ware. It is, and always has been, a quality product that is very well made. My pans, with good care, have weathered many years of cooking. Bon Apetit!

The trick to using spelt is not to knead it much at all. The grain is not as heavy or dark as whole wheat, and the flavor is much more of a sweet nutty taste. As far as the texture, no, I didn't think the bread I've made using spelt was heavy or dark like whole wheat. But the gluten is far weaker than wheat gluten. So, research on line for articles on cooking with this flour, and how to adapt to using it. and I think you'll enjoy!

The bottom is smaller than the top. I'm not certain what you mean by "like a muffin should be." Pretty much every muffin I see where I live has a smaller bottom than top regardless of size.

Sounds like more flavor! But what will you say when someone asks, "Tastes great! What's your secret?" :-)

Hi Dr. Rusty. Honestly i did not notice a difference between this and a previous brand's "regular" flavour seaweed snack. The next time i try these i will try to pay more attention to the flavour. Please don't hold your breath however, as i will likely try a different brand next time. (Only because i've tried just one other brand so far -- with a "regular" or "plain" flavor, IIRC -- the two different brands tasted exactly the same to me, though i admittedly did not do a proper side-by-side taste test with both products present at the same time.)

I would say they are more in between a regular and the jumbo muffin size. I do love them!

Not sure. Since you only use a skim of it on bread, english muffins, etc. I don't worry to much about it. Only eat in morning usually on an english muffin, I watch rest of day.

Muffins are going to be as large as you choose - I personally like the muffin pan that makes six at a time and feel that is the perfect size. cmolson

Yes! I've even made muffins from a regular recipe and just subbed this one. They turn out great. My fave flour blend yet!
