Editorial Review

Have you ever eaten the top of the muffin and thrown the rest away? Muffin crowns are indeed the best part, so why not invent a pan that practically elimates the bottoms? Far less wasteful, no more guilt, lots of yummy muffin. Featured in Cook's Illustrated Resources September/October 2002 If you favor the crusty, browned top of the muffin over the delicate, crumbly bottom, a muffin-top pan might be for you. Almost flat, each of the pan's six muffin cups is jut 1/2 inch deep, yielding flying-saucer shaped muffins that are virtually all crispy brown top. Our favorite pan is made by Chicago Metallic..."

Comment:	After a year long search, I finally discovered my muffin top pans at AMAZON.com Finally, I was able to get one for my 2 married girls. Love the price and the end product is great. Baking is fun.

Summary:	it is awesome
Comment:	I have always purchased different muffin top flavors for my family and I to eat. I wanted to know if such a tin was available to the public and found out that it was. Now I am endless on the different muffin top flavors we are eating. Everyone should have this. It cuts back on calories when eating because you are only eating the muffin top and not the whole muffin.

Summary:	They do what they are supposed to do.
Comment:	I ordered two of these pans and upon receipt I put them to work. First observation, Made in China...not happy, poorly rolled edges, not usual Chicago Metallic quality. Like others have stated, due to the size of the cups, these pans actually make fewer muffin tops, then regular muffins. Followed Chicago Metallic instructions and lowered the baking temp by 25 degrees from what recipe states. Oops, burned first batch. Made second batch and watched very close, pulled them out at 14 minute mark and they turned out very nice. Noticed that they rise quickly, and bake just as quick. In general, these pans work as they are supposed to, but it will take a bit of trial and error before I feel completely comfortable with using them. On the down side, there aren't many muffin top recipes out there yet so you have to modify existing recipes. My opinion, if you want muffin tops, these are the pans to use. And, by all means, purchase two of them, because the six at a time thing would take forever! BTW, the second batch of Apple Strudel Muffin Tops were pretty good.
