Bakes well, on the small side, October 21, 2006

The only disappointment I had was that I was expecting a full sized muffin - though they did accurately give the measurements - I just didn't check. ....I agree with the earlier review...bigger than a mini, smaller than a regular. One bonus is that it fits well in a toaster oven and bakes in less than half the time on convection mode.

This is not smaller than regular muffin pans. It's straightsided where regular muffin pans have slanted sides. This pan has muffin cups that are 2-1/2-inch-wide by 1-1/2-inch-deep. My regular cheap metal muffin pan cups are the same depth; at the bottom they are 2-inches wide while at the top they are 2-3/4-inches wide. It's actually an appearance issue, not a size issue.As for quality, it's from Lodge and it's cast iron. It's superior.

That's what we got it for- and it works great.The thick cast iron does a great job keeping your pre-heated fat/oil smoking hot while you add your batter.Our puddings seem to come out much poofier compared to when we used to use a cheap, thin walled muffin tin.
