Side by Side Comparison of: OvenStuff vs Wilton vs STERILITE vs The Smart Baker

These are the best... easy to use and easy to clean.

Good stuff! Use it a lot for reheating leftovers ... and sometime sticky stuff with melted cheese ... never a problem cleaning it up like new quickly. I would reorder the two I have, if ever lose their non-stick coating. Good luck waiting for that to happen!

Well made and heavy-duty. The non-stick coating seems durable, provided you don't abuse it with a metal scrubble (which I have not tried)..

Received these today and expected to find a cheap aluminum weight pan, but these are perfect! Heavier weight, sturdy, and non stick, these will last a long time!

I ordered the OvenStuff 9 inch cake pans a few months ago, and they arrived really quickly! So, I was very pleased with that. After using them a few times, I couldn't be more happy! They bake each cake perfectly, and evenly. I like that I can throw them right in the dishwasher, and that hasn't ruined them at all. This is the first time I tried OvenStuff brand pans, and I will definitely try more of their other non stick pans!

These are great for making layer cakes. 9" is the size my wife likes to make and the non stick layering does the trick. As other reviews have mentioned, the edges on these pans are tapered as opposed to straight. The tapering is there to make it easier to get the baked cake out of the pan, but you are left with tapered edges to your cakes. so you either need to cut them off with a knife to make them straight, or just use a lot of frosting on your sides to cover it up. We just use a lot of frosting and no one is the wiser.

I finally treated myself to some "real" tools after being commissioned to make my mom's wedding cake. She despises fondant, and I cringed at the thought of making a buttercream cake because I was worried the icing would come out lumpy and gross. This tool worked great for me, and although it didn't come out perfectly lump-free like fondant would, it was pretty darn close. I will be keeping this tool for future cakes; my only wish is that I had bought one sooner so that I could lend a more professional feel to my cakes.

For some reason I thought it would be smaller...then realized that 12" is one helluva a Icing Spatula. I'm not fond of sheet cakes; never seem like "real cakes" to me. But... LoL this is going to be a perfect moment in that direction and, I will start a new direction for getting creative.

i attempted to make my son a cake for his first birthday ... While I am not much of a baker, this icing spatula made decorating much easier!

This is probably one of the greatest purchases I have made in a while. I bake a lot and have so for about 12 years. I'm actually in the process of opening up my own bakery and I saw this and figured I would give it a shot since the price was right. Man, this spatula is versatile. I've used it for slicing cheesecakes, spooning items as well as icing my cheesecakes and it works flawlessly.

When my bakery if fully up and running, I plan on ordering a few more to keep on hand.

Embarrassingly this was my first time using a dedicated cake spatula to frost my cakes. I poured through reviews and couldn't decide on the size to get. Some folks weren't happy with large spatulas while others had problems adapting to smaller spatulas. I purchased this particular spatula based on the reviews and was also under the assumption the metal spatula itself (excluding the handle) was 9" long. What I received was a spatula that is 9" in length *including* the handle. The metal spatula itself is only 3.75"- seems suited more for cupcakes and tiny rounds. That said, I put it t the test and I've successfully frosted several 9" round triple layer cakes in addition to cupcakes and mini cupcakes- it worked perfectly, and just as expected.

I wound up having no issues with small size. The angled handle made frosting the cakes feel natural, as if I'd been using it for years, and in no way awkward. I was also able to use it successfully as a crumb layer-scraper. A crumb layer scraper would have been ideal for my high layered cakes as it would have required minimal effort, but this spatula outperformed any substitute device I'd previously used, and in the end, my crumb layer was perfect.

I can see a bigger size spatula being more helpful for 9"+ layer cakes, as it would be faster and perhaps a tad easier, but I wasn't racing against a clock and my cakes turned out beautiful.

Product is as advertised.

Bought as a gift

I gave this only 4 stars till I can use them more. So far I like them. A no name brand but they seem just as good as any big brand pans. I didn't want to spend $10 to $50 a pan....that's just rediculous. So I took a chance and these cake pans seem pretty good. Better than Bakers Secret for sure. If they last a couple of years I'll be happy. I will use them a couple m of times a month and usujust for one layer but I wanted 2 pans so I can bake a layer cake once in a while. I am not disappointed in either quality or price. I think it was worth the money and would not hesitate to buy them again.

Excellent cake pans. They're light, stiff, and non-stick. My only complaint is that they sometimes get stuck together when I store them with one inside the other.

These are my only 9-inch cake pans and I do like them, but a note: the sides are not straight. They are at a slight angle so if you're planning on using this to make a layered cake, you may need to do a little bit of trimming to get the sides to be perfectly straight.I'm pretty happy with them; they are made of fairly good material and haven't warped. My cakes release easily. I'll likely buy another set with straight sides, but I won't be doing it anytime soon (or at least not until something happens to these) because they have and are serving me well.

I bought these pans for making layered cakes. The quality of the pans themselves....fantastic. They are a good weight and nothing sticks when you properly prepare the pan. One problem I have is the bottom diameter of each pan is smaller than the upper diameter. So when you are putting your layer cake together you cannot stack two layers evenly. I trim the outers sides of the cake and hide it with the frosting but I would not have bought these had I known. There were other reviews that say they are both straight sides but trust me, they are not. The fact that these two pans can be stored one inside the other is proof the bottom and top of each pan is a different size. I will say it's not a huge size difference but it's enough that I have to spackle frosting and mess around to make it work.I have used these on occasion to cook non-bakery goods and I don't use non-stick spray or anything on the pans and have no problems with anything sticking. I've had these pans for almost 3 years now.

Good quality, but way bigger than I expected

I can't say "I love it," simply because I am not that committed to an icing spatula. I will say that it has served its purpose nicely, and is not showing any signs of decay. It is a nice simple icing spatula. It is decorative kitchen utensil, but a practical durable one. So if you are looking for something cute to go with your multicolored knives set, brightly colored Dutch Oven, etc. then this isn't that.

Works well so far. Seems pretty sturdy and well made. I puchased to make homemade fruit roll ups and i needed something to help smooth it out in the pan. So far no issues

Angle Icing Spatula, was surprise how big it was. A little difficult to use at first. but it's okay. Wish they made one a little smaller.

Well built and sturdy. I have various spatulas from stainless steel to silicon and simple plastic. The silicon and plastic don't offer an offset blade. I own a large angled spatula for cake icing/decoration and wouldn't be without one. This small version with this same deviation to a blade alignment really helps to make covering a cupcake with icing to simple application of mustard on a ham and cheese. The smaller spatula is easy to clean and appears to be sturdy. Time will tell

Not so good not a dip

Good pans but its is miss leading cause they are pie pans not cake pans so now i will have to trim the cakes to get them un slanted

These pans look great, but there is a reason maybe why these are cheaper. One pan came fine while the other one was pretty dented.Does not look like it was dented in transit

I really liked these pans at first but after the second or third wash I'm already noticing rust issues around the edges - not happy about it and will most likely be switching back to glass pans.

The pans are excellent quality and have a nice non-stick coating. However, the pans are actually pie pans (even says so on their label) and the Amazon posting says they are cake pans. They only major difference here is the slant of the edges, but it makes it impossible to make a layered cake. I was disappointed upon opening them but they work great as pie pans.

The only reason I'm giving them a 3 star instead of a 2 star is because I should have known from the pictures and I should have read some of the Q&A's before hand so that was my bad. I am not impressed with my first impression with these pans. I haven't used them yet but they say they are layering pans..... But they angle out so I now have to cut the sides of all my cakes so they are the same on the sides. Also the pans are super shallow. I will probably still keep these because I'll find use for them for things like pie's but I'll need to buy new cake pans because it's easier for me to buy new pans then cut the sides each time.

Its Ok

Smaller and lighter than I anticipated, but should work.

It says origin Japan, but I was disappointed. It's made in China.

Bigger than I expected

ok tool

These pans worked great for making rice noodles in my steamer pot - the noodles didn't stick - but, after using them once they already have rust around the bottom outside rim and in hairline scratches on the pan that I don't know the origin of, since I used a plastic spatula to get the noodles off the pan. I hand washed them after I used them.

these things rust like crazy. every time i clean and dry them there always seems to be a new little rust spot coming up and i havent even had them very long so it is super disappointing. very cheap quality

Pie pans not for cakes you want to stack. Sloping at the sides.

My cake stuck terribly

what I got were pie pans. I dont know if they were just mislabelled, I sent them back, the pan sides had a 45 degree angle.

Really wish they would say the size of the can pans on the bottom.

Cheap and smaller than it seems and than it describes. 9 inches is not the blade size.

Just not good to me .Mainly because of the way it fits in my head . Too hard to work with.

The 9" spatula description clearly states that the blade is 1.5" wide. The one I received is barely .75" (3/4"). Not what I wanted.
Would probably cost more to send it back than it's worth. I did give 2 stars because it's well made but for me it's just another addition to my junk drawer.

The title is misleading; it's 9 inches from handle to end of the angled spatula. The only other offset spatulas I'd seen showed the blade length (which is actually about 4.5" of functional surface area).

I already had a 4.5" offset spatula, so upon receipt of this one I was pretty disappointed because I was hoping for a large one for big surfaces. Turns out that having two 4.5" offset spatulas is a pretty nice luxury, though.

2/5 stars because I literally didn't need it and was expecting it to be a 9" spatula blade, but I'll still use it anyway.

Rusted after one wash in the dish washer. Otherwise it's OK.

I washed them in the dishwasher before using them (the label states they can be washed in the dishwasher) and both came out looking like old rusted pans. Both have small rust spots around the rims and one of them has about a 4" rusted area on the inside. I won't use either of them. Cheap quality. Should have read the reviews before ordering.

First time i washed thr pans, they rusted.

I received pie pans.The label on them confirms pie,not cake.People saying they received slanted side cake pans obviously don't bake much.

These are deep pie pans...they are slanted not straight. Sent them back!

Meh very cheap quality

Both pans were dented when I received them.

The last time I used it I did not clean it right away. It was in an empty sink overnight. When I picked it up to wash it, the bottom side was covered with rust spots. Now there are permanent marks on it. That was probably my fault, but nothing else of mine has ever rusted. I will look for another product.

Please note: 9" and 13" are for over all length and not blade length. Kind of disheartening to realize this in hand and not seeing this in online discription.

Description didn't say on 13" size the blade length and I was thinking a 9" was needed and didn't notice in discription.

It is small. The 12" length in the description is the overall length with handle and the metal part. Do not buy if you are looking for a longer spatula

Unfortunately, this spatula is not constructed with the same thicker steel as the old models were. The thin steel flexes and bends making this spatula ineffective at spreading all but the thinnest of icings/frostings. Once the spatula is bent, bending it back leads to an even weaker more useless spatula.

I was grossly disappointed when i received this item. This spatula is very small and flimsy...worst Wilton product I've purchased!!
