Wilton Medium Donut Pan 12 Cavity Reviews Summary

Size and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "This mini donut pan is quality and truly nonstick."
• "Cleanup is a breeze provided you spray it with Pam or the like."
• "I use a plastic ketchup squeeze bottle that I filled with batter with a funnel. There was no mess at all."
• "I just sprayed a tad bit of olive oil in the cavities, and baked about 3 dozen donuts without having to regrease it."
• "Cavities were easy to fill when using a piping bag."
• "Pan comes out of the dishwasher fine."
• "The pan releases the doughnuts easily and is easy to clean,"

Cons:

• "I was disappointed because they were much smaller than indicated making them hard to fill and quality of product them was not as good as it should have been."
• "I guess they didn't make any mistake in their advertising. It certainly is... mini.... But it's also freaking impossible to fill the cavities without overfilling."
• "I made the mistake of choosing this donut pan over the 6 cavity pan, with the assumption that it was truly going to make mini donuts."
• "This is a super cute and fun way to make little cake donuts, but it is really hard to fill properly."
• "I assumed since this had 12 donut holes it was bigger but it's still a mini mini donut pan."
• "I put very little dough, but it raises and then the bottom part has the shape of a donut but the top closes up and looks just like a mini muffin."
• "The tiny openings were a little hard to fill and took some time."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Works amazing! I love this! I wanted to be able to make miniature donuts for a fun snack and these worked! They didn’t stick and it was easy to clean! I recommend this product."
• "Absolutely love this donut tray. It makes the perfect bite size donuts for adults and even better for toddlers. Great addition to my kitchen."
• "I love these mini donut pans. They bake perfectly."
• "I’m so glad we got this pan! The smaller size makes the recipe go further & produces a more bite-sized donut with more delicious crust. The nonstick makes the donuts easy to release & remove as well as easy to clean! 10 stars!!"
• "The pan is made of heavy-duty metal."
• "The quality of the pan is great."
• "Study, non stick pan of the quality you'd expect from Wilton."

Cons:

• "Edited to add: I searched high and low for non Chinese made and this brand came up as one. But it turns out that it is made in China."
• "It has some rust on one of the donut holes, and the packaging was open which made me uneasy."
• "These pans rust very easily. I haven't even baked with them yet only washed and found rust on them after they were drying."
• "This pan has a nonstick coating, but my batter stuck like crazy."
• "Nonstick for now--not sure how long the coating will last."
• "After washing it, I noticed it still holds a strange chemical smell."
• "I disliked the fact that there were supposed to be two in the package and there is only one and the fact that it is badly warped and unusable."

Expectation vs Reality

Pros:

• "I didn't want a whole donut, just a bite, so I bought this mini donut pan, and I was not disappointed!"
• "Just got my pan and I am very pleased with it."
• "I love it, is awesome, the mini donut's are actually really cute, too cute to eat them."
• "This makes the cutest little donuts! Perfectly bite-sized and super easy to use and clean."
• "Nice quality pan and worked well. Bought 2. Easy to use. Makes nice little donuts for kids or ladies tea party."
• "This pan makes the most adorable tiny donuts!"
• "Like all Wilton pans I own, this mini doughnut pan is excellent! Sturdy, nonstick and dishwasher safe! I highly recommend it!"

Cons:

• "I know the description says Mini but it's very small size surprised me."
• "Very nice but smaller than what I realized."
• "Why, oh why, didn't I read the reviews? If you want really tiny donuts, then these pans are for you. Otherwise, buy the bigger size."
• "I bought this with the assumption it would make donuts the size of the small Entenmann's donuts. Boy was I wrong."
• "A LOT smaller than I imagined they would be."
• "I didn't realize how absolutely tiny these would be -- doesn't even seem worth baking such tiny donuts."
• "I was disappointed only because I ordered this thinking it was a regular size donut pan and when I opened it, it was for mini donuts."
