How does it compare to the Pampered Chef stonewear muffins pan?

I'm guessing the same because Haeger Potteries is the company that produces Pampered Chef's stoneware.

Most definitely, I have a gas oven and my breakfast muffins are wonderful and easy to clean after each use. I bought two sets, onw for myself and the other would be a great gift!

No not unless they've improved the model. Honestly my daughter hated hers. The recipe's make like 8 cookies the size of a quarter! I suggest buying a real MINI muffin pan and let her make them that way. You have to help either way. Might as well save yourself tons of money and get a product that makes food for humans. Its been a couple years since we got her one but this year she even wrote on her list "not an easy bake oven" :(

I think the two things that are an upgrade on the Wilton Excelle Elite pan are the special durable coating that really does make it "non-stick" and the extra wide handles at each end that make it much easier to put in and out of the oven. I paid the extra few dollars and am glad that I did.

I have never tried to bake in my muffin pan without using a spray. I use a very light mist of coconut oil spray and the baked contents slip right out. The pan is extremely easy to clean and the spray doesn't stick to it or brown the pan itself.

Yes, it's much smoother. That fact, and its lighter weight are what made me choose it over cast iron. I haven't noticed any loss, or unevenness, of seasoning. I cook on a glass cooktop, by the way.

I love this pan. It's one of the best I've ever owned. Bakes well and cleans easily. It is shiny but I don't see any kind of coating being involved here.

I have the multi-clad set. I believe the difference is that the aluminum core extends up the sides of the pan with the multi-clad, whereas the chef's Classic has aluminum only on the bottom. Multi-clad pros: more even heating. Cons: higher price and heavy. Hope that helps.

I have not made muffins or a cake in it yet, but I bake in the convection oven all the time for other things. I use the defrost button a lot also. As far as cookware, you can use just about any kind you want. Metal, Corningware it doesn't matter. This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. I use it every day, well worth the money. It took the place of me having to have a toaster oven and a microwave.

Well, I have a teflon coated pan and I have to use oil or butter but with the Green Earth pan I don't have to. I feel It's better. But I'm going to keep an eye on it and report after like 6 months of use.

No I really didn't like this product. I had the one from pampered chef that always worked excellent. I needed a new one and thought i would try this one.

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 am not quite sure if there is a difference but it really bakes evenly and releases from the pan plus it is decorative, and easy to clean. I am really glad I have this set. Hope this helps. I also think cast would be heavier.

Follow this link, it compares both models and explains the pros/cons clearly. http://www.kitchenaudition.com/?page_id=2320

The one I have is the Hamilton Beach 31197R Countertop Oven. It has uncoated interior walls and is easy to clean.

I find the nonstick surface to be truly nonstick, comparable to Stonedine cookware and better than Kitchenaid and Cuisinart. I'm very happy with my wok and use it a lot for stir-frying.

I have the NUWAVE cooktop. I purchased that set of cookware to use with it even though I have the ones that came with my cooktop. There is no comparison in quality between the cookware. The GOURMET CHEF is poor quality. I would not reccomend it to anyone. If I get extra cookware I will spend the extra money and purchase better quality.Get what you pay for.
