Is this pan non-stick? I'm looking for a pan that is NOT non-stick so that I can cool the cake with the pan upside down.

It does not have a non-stick coating. It's pure anodized aluminum and cleans up easily.

It doesn't have a non stick coating, I am so done with those. I have not tried to turn it upside down though, the cake does release from the side, I don't decorate cakes really as I just frost in the pan.

No, this pan is not non-stick. You have to grease & flour it in order for the cake to release. However, I do not cool my cakes upside down. I simply let it cool in the pan on a rack for about 5 minutes, & then invert it onto another rack to let it cool completely. Hope this helps!

No its not, but I usual my wait about 10 minutes or so b4 I flip the cake over and leave the cover over it.

No, it isn't non-stick, it's all stainless steel, and that's a very good thing. Even GreenPans start to stick and are very tricky to clean, but if your remember this little quote, you will never have food stick to a pan: "Hot pan, cold oil, food won't stick" It's that easy. Simply heat the empty pan first. Yyou can tell if it's hot enough by adding a single drop of water to the pan--if it sizzles, you can then add cold/room temperature oil. This pan cleans beautifully, no matter what you cook.

I've used the pan often and for quite a long time and the coating is wonderful- non stick but not teflon type. I'm extremely happy with it.

No, it is not non stick. But since you heat oil in wok before cooking, things don't stick. I had a non stick wok before this one, and I like this one a whole lot more.

I have not. I've read a couple web pages, and the people don't say, but they all laud the non-stick surface. Here's their website, so perhaps you can email and ask. http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E30D238-475A-BAC0-5C769424F6ABE6F1

I thought the same thing, but it is non-stick. It's silver instead of the traditional black. You will see when you clean up the pan how easy stuff comes off.

My silicone bundt pan works perfect, please note that you have to take your cake out of pan only when it is not hot anymore ...aproximately after 30 minutes otherwise it can "slouch" down. So if you bake it for 30 minutes, then let it cool in open oven, if you put cake from the oven into cold place it definitely will "slouch" down because difference of temperatures. It is especially important for sponge cakes and alike...

I just got this today 6/10/14 and it is NOT non-stick. The description says stainless interior - and that is correct. Unfortunately I bought one of these a couple of years ago that WAS non-stick and I clicked on the past order to get another one of the same thing and this is the item that came up. I didn't even look at the description because it was supposed to be the same. Anyway, it's a great pan for the price and I haven't decided yet whether I'm returning this one or not.

You are correct. It is not "non stick" surface. If you preheat the cookware, and use proper cooking technique nothing will stick!

I have this AirBake Ultra pan, but I never baked a cake in it as of now. Just baked macaroni. It works fine for that, and then has the cover to go over for any left overs.

No, as far as I can tell it is not a non-stick surface. I do like these pans, but when baking cookies I use parchment paper.

I can honestly say I have never had an issue with cake removal from this pan. Have made several different types of cakes. I do use "Baker's Joy" cooking spray which I prefer after 40 plus years of cooking, and invert onto a cooling rack no longer than 10 minutes after removal from oven. I know some recipes tell us to let cool, but I have found that to be an issue for removal for me in the past. Be sure pan is completely covered with spray as missing just a spot or two can cause removal issues. Hope this helps!

It is not-stick. It has not peeled even though the bottom of the pan has warped a little.

It does not have a "non stick" surface. I would say with a little oil, butter - there is no sticking. It took some getting used to, as our prior set was non stick, but overall, these pans will last far, far longer. Non stick coatings tend to flake, scratch or even peel off over time. Hope that helps.

It is not non-stick in the same way Teflon and similar pans are. However, once properly seasoned it performs as well the classic Teflon style coatings do. In a brand new pan, I would cook fatty meats or heat it up real hot and oil it a time or two. After the seasoning, it will be as non-stick as most "non-stick" pans.

Hi, I bought and used this pan. Love t. To let you know I you use fondant the cake should be delivered or used that same day. I found that it will slip down. I also kept mine in the fridge to keep it firm. I worked somewhat. My problem was that the people changed the deliver date by 2 days so it slid. I also followed the directions to coat the inside the old fashioned way. Crisco and flour. It came out perfect. I hope this helps. Sandi
