Hi Carla! You can just use the paper cups in the pan and they bake fine :-) . No need for another pan underneath.

I have used these twice and they came out great! No need for a cookie sheet underneath. I used regular cupcake liners. Hope that helps!

You just use regular cupcake liners and they bake the same as regular pans! No additional cookie sheet needed.

Paper or foil muffin cups work. You don't need to put it on a cookie sheet, though I could see why you might want to. I never have.

Annie you can use the brownie mix, this kind of batter usually doesn't rise much, I fill it almost to the top. You can try both pan with brownie and when it is cold put some chocolate cream or strawberry jam in the middle and then cover with chocolate cream... Good luck

The cupcake pan wasn't in the box? Actually just use the cupcake papers on the flat pan.

It works just like any other baking pan, whether it's a muffin pan, loaf pan, etc. I spray it with baking Pam, add the uncooked cake batter to the round half-spheres on the bottom pan until it's just short of level, then place the lid pan with the other half spheres on top. Secure them with the clips provided and then bake in the oven. Parts of the batter may ooze out of the top vent holes, but that's fine. You just cut that part off when it's done baking, so this way you have some scraps for the kids to eat!

I put 3/4 of the batter in the bottom and the rest in the top. There are instructions that come with the pan and I believe they differ from the amount that I used. Hope this helps.

the 6 cup cupcake pans are less than10"long and less than 7" wide. I have a small toaster oven and I don't think mine would cook well in it.The top coil would be too close to the muffin top.

You spoon the batter into the mold. You have to bake it several times to get it hard. Or make them thin. I think using your own recipes would be the cheapest way to go. The mixes are pricey, but convienent.

Liner is like paper thin. I put my liner on the bottom of the oven which has the element beneath the pan so you cannot see it. I'm planning to just use my cookie sheet instead. We made a claim to the company, but they said they couldn't do anything about it. Please do not take a chance for the price. We think using a cookie sheet is a great idea; you wash it just once in a while.

Happens to me every time. I've used it 3 times to make healthy veggie muffins for my toddler. Mushy in the middle after baking for 45 minutes! That's why I am here on Amazon trying to figure out why...I've used a cookie sheet underneath and put it directly on the rack. Same issue. Brown on top, mush in the middle. What do we do??

You cannot place cupcakes under the bottom tier. This is huge and you will have plenty of room, believe me. I believe the bottom sits on the table (or surface,) Happy baking!

The muffin pan is very flexible. I would not recommend baking without something under it unless you can guarantee each muffin cup is resting on a section of the oven rack. Even then, I think by trying to place it in the oven without something under it you are taking a risk of it bending and spilling the contents in your oven. I have placed mine on a cookie sheet and that worked perfectly.

NOT A SINGLE SHEET! All of these cupcake pans have a seem on the bottom, right under the lip. I believe the manufacturers do this to create an air pocket, to help prevent burning. Unfortunately, with aluminum, that just means you have two thin sheets next to each other...and that means easy bending/warping. As far as I can tell, certain cookie sheets are the only "solid" aluminum bakeware.

Honestly I used boxed cake mix for my daughters party. I followed the directions that came with the pan on the amount of time to leave it in. (I don't recall what it says I don't have the paper in front of me at moment) It worked perfectly. The only other thing I did was to spin the pan around halfway through to get it all even heat. also an extra tip I found the easiest way to level the bottoms of the cakes was to fill the pans slightly more that it suggests then when they are cooked and cooled I used a large serrated knife and evened them all out. Hope this helped. Have fun!

I have used them both ways. Muffins I just pour the batter in, and they slide right out. For cupcakes, I use paper liners. No need to grease or flour the pan.

I put it on a cookie sheet. The base is glass so it has some structure to it but I wouldn't handle it with out the cookie sheet until the cake is cooked and cooled.

The grid holes very small. I bake mini cupcakes quite often and cookies as well. The only time anything has fallen thru is if an m&m; falls off a cookie.

I baked my muffins on an airbake nonstick cookie sheet and it worked perfect. If you have one of those pans you might give that a shot! Good luck!
