This pan is wonderful !!!  I made my Million Dollar Pound Cake in it yesterday.  (first use)  When the cake came out of the oven I cooled it for 10 minutes on a cooling rack, then turned it over on the rack to finish cooling.....and you guessed it... it slid right out of the pan onto the rack all by itself!!!!  I couldn't believe it...I was doing my happy dance all over the kitchen!!!  By the way I'm 74 years old, so I am sure that was a sight to see..!  Anyone that bakes pound cakes knows that they just don't always do that...  I am very impressed with this pan, the cake was golden brown all over, just as it should be, and also the pan is very easy to handle, it's not as heavy as it looks, but heavy enough, and the handles on each side are VERY helpful for anyone who has arthritis in their hands and wrists.  I would actually give this pan six stars if possible.  Get one you'll love it too!!
