I have darker colored non stick pans and tarts brown too much in them. These pans seem to be lighter colored. Do tarts turn out too brown in these?

I've slowly been replacing my darker baking pans with the lighter ones. They do really cook more evenly. The bottoms don't end up so brown. I've only made cupcakes and cornbread so far but both have come out beautiful.

Same thing happened to me. Which is why I stopped using them. I don't think they really cook up. I certainly would not risk baking with them.

None that I've ever purchased has had dark brown spots. I might be a little suspect of that.

they brown beautifully. The first try I put into the oven needs to be there an extra minute or 2 for the pan to stay at the right temperature. Nothing sticks and I have never been disappointed. I am the one , of all my friends that is asked to bring cookies to our functions. Hope you buy these and enjoy them...

Mine were not brown. They looked like off white powder . Still did wonders for me.

It depends on the type of pan you use. I also don't use any baking sprays or oils in the liners. The cupcakes come out fine and there is no bleeding of the colors.

I have not used my pan with liners; I sprayed the brownie pan w/ a baking spray. That worked very well for me. I've used it about 6-7 times so far. No problems.

Shirley, sorry to hear about your donuts not coming out of your pans. I haven't used the pans yet, but sounds like the the nonstick surface isn't working.

They can be heated on high but the interior coating will change color and you'll never be able to get the original color back. But again, it will change color anyway, very soon. And it will become stick (not non-stick) very soon. As you can see, I wasn't very happy with this particular set of pans and they all got replaced very soon with T-Fal Signature collection. Very happy with T-Fal. I would not recommend Earth pan to a friend and I am not recommending it to you my friend.

I've had mine for about a year. They continue to be the best pans i've ever owned. They are as nonstick as the day I bought them. I am extremely pleased with this product!

Good question, but I see no way to "brown" the top of the cake pop. It only takes 5 minutes and if you left them in any longer, the whole thing would probably burn. I have only made chocolate ones so far. Good luck.

Yes, and my wife has actually done just that to confirm. She says the handle gets a little warm so wear a mit! She also wanted me to mention that she LOVES the pans after trying many different non-sticks.

No, but that's how I like them. Non-stick always seems to cause over and uneven cooking in my experience.

I have had my set for several months and have no problems with them at all. I don't always listen to what the reviews say because all products have bad reviews. If you get them and are not happy with them request a refund. They only problem I have had is food sticking to the frying pan. Hope this helps!

They are as shiny inside as they are outside, but not with that dark coating that eventually wears off and gets into your food, while your pans rust out. I am very, very happy with all the USA pans I purchased, as I too hate dark, non-stick, pans of any kind. Hope this helps you!

Your Silpat will eventually turn a brownish color after using it a lot. Your Silpat will still be nonstick and safe to keep using. I've had customers who have had their Silpat for 10 years and it's almost black! Still used it and it worked just fine. Some people have found that if it's not too dark, you can put it in the sun and it will lighten up again. Is it stained in one spot or all over? We guarantee our Silpats for 2 years as long as you use it correctly. No broiling (480 degrees is as high as you should go) and no sharp utensils. I hope this helps!

I believe tart pans do not have the angle that a pie pan has but yes you can use this for tarts, they just won't be straight up from the bottom but angled like a pie pan.
