Bellemain 12-Cup Nonstick Madeleine Pan

This past Oct 10th I married my best friend and the love of my life. My wife and I honeymooned in the south of France. We stayed at La Mirande in Avignon. There, we had a chefs table dinner in a 300 year old kitchen in the basement of the hotel. Our dinner was full of life, happiness and delicious french food.Since we were in the kichten and I made sure that we sat next to the chef, I memorized each course and how it was made.The dessert was a Bosc roasted pear glazed in a red wine reduction, custard cream with pine nuts, and (of course) fresh hot madelines.This past thanksgiving, i could not think of a better way to share memories of our honeymoon than to recreate our favorite dessert. I made custard from scratch to the add to the whipped heavy cream, I went to my favorite produce store while and picked out the best pears i could find, I roasted the pears in cotes du Rhone châteaunuf du Pape 2013 and basted the pears until they were perfectly shining.. then came the madelines....Madelines might seem easy to throw together, but to recreate such a profound moment in my life I needed it to be perfect. Thankfully this pan was very forgiving. I figured out there are certain steps one must take to match the french standard" i wont go over the recipe i used, but will help with the techniques that if not followed will give you vastly different results.* mix flour and butter together and apply to the pan prior to adding the mixture. The flour and butter muat go into the freezer 2-5 minutes before you add the mixture and cook in the oven.*brown your butter, madelines have a toasty butter taste to them.*convection oven for even heat, crisper edges and moistish inner layer.*serve right away..... like right way... as fast as you can...The difference between good and great are in the details... the madeline pan held up to many batches and i didnt have one stick but was able to obtain that crisp butter crust that i found in france... i hope to make it again soon...I hope you liked my moment, and when you try your next batch of madelines... be sure to not settle for just ok or good..Research, practice, get everything perfect and the madelines will reward you :)

Just baked madeleines for the first time ever. The molds looked large, but they do indeed come out the standard size, which I wanted. Buttered but forgot to flour the pan. However, they slid out immediately. The metal seems a little thin to me. Maybe it's just because they're so shallow, but I'm storing them separately from other pans to prevent denting. As other reviewers have said, some sort of handles would be an improvement (so they're still stackable). The pans are so thin and slick, they are a little tricky to remove from the oven. Overall, I'm very happy to have found pans that perform well, probably as well as or better than more expensive pans. Even if you don't really want to spend money on another kitchen item with limited use, the low cost of these make it hard to pass up.

I wanted to bake madeleine after finally tasting them for the first time this year. There were many choices for pans but this one popped up as an Amazon choice so I went ahead and selected it. It turned out to be a great choice. I baked madeleines the week I received the pan and it worked out great. The pan was easy to use and the cakes popped right out without any problem. As for the madeleines they were cooked to perfection and so good and trust me I am not so great in the kitchen! I shared them with friends and the first comment was - could I make more! I know this pan will serve me well for baking madeleines for years to come. I already recommended this pan to friends - it's a must have.

After ordering 4 of these Bellemain Madeleine Pans...I should write a review to state how wonderful they are. They bake the most beautiful Madeleines. Even when I accidently overcooked a batch...nothing stuck to the pan. I can double or triple the recipe and have enough pans not to wait too long for them to cool off. After buttering the first batch, no need to rebutter....nothing sticks. A small cookie scoop in the center is all you need...it spreads into the mold and they all bake perfectly. Beautiful, golden delicious cakes. I also ordered another pan, early on (Zenker). It worked well...but I left that one at my Parents home so I can make them Madeleines when visiting. I like my pans to be all the same. Highly recommend.

This pan works so beautifully! It has a lovely nonstick coating that even feels durable, not the matte kind that feels like it'll scratch up soon. Seemed a bit thin for a baking pan (it was a little tricky to get my thick oven mittens underneath afterwards), but so are madeleines, after all!Buttered my pan like other reviewers suggested, and my madeleines slipped out beautifully! Hope to perfect my recipe and use this for many, many more years to come.

Thank you Perella's for your nonstick Madeleine pan. I have to say that I was skeptical at first. I wanted to oil and powder the pan before baking, but I decided to go ahead and test the pans without it. My madeleines came out perfectly. Thank you again, I'm very satisfied.I've attached pictures. I made strawberry madeleines. The picture of the pan was taken right after removing the madeleines. Clean up is vey easy. Loving my new pans.

I ordered two of these, and could not be more pleased. My madeleines turn out beautifully golden-brown and defined. They are a nice sized cake (not too small). Best part: the non-stick really is non-stick. I didn't even grease the pan and they slid out easily. I had been using silicone pans, but find that these pans produce a more classic looking end product, and are easier to use because they have structural integrity and don't require a cookie sheet underneath. This also means more even heat distribution, without a little brown spot on the top of the "shell" of my cakes. Highly recommended if you want beautiful, classic madeleines without fussy clean-up.

A friend in England sent me a recipe for Madeleines, raving about them. His recipe included buying this particular pan also - along with the link to Amazon's site for it! The Bellemain pan is the exact item for this sponge-cake recipe. The pan is well-made, well-balanced and very simple to clean. Brushing only melted butter to grease the pan gives each Madeleine a finished, lightly crisped edge. If you use flour with the butter, you'll ruin it. The shape of each item is flawless and slips out of the pan when tipped, no need to dig them out! Terrific specialty pan.

There are always way too many choices for everything on Amazon. Often the exact same product called some unique name by multiple sellers. Some even use the exact same picture. So at some point, you just click on something to move on with more important things. So this got my click. I got a really nice product, maybe it's the same as those sold by others but this company delivered fast, wrapped it well (not in a 4 foot by 4 foot box as some some products come in) and it arrived in perfect condition. I actually bought a second one, same thing. great quality, arrived in perfect condition. I think I'll order a couple for a friend (after I figure out how to make them and if it's remotely fun to do so) and give her the winning recipe with the pans for a birthday along with lunch at a local french restaurant.

I bought this pan because I love Madeleines. This pan did exceed my expectations. It is of high quality and the Madeleines come out easy after baking, even without prior greasing of the pan. I definitely would buy a product from this supplier again. It is always great, when price and performance are as well in line as this product is!

I don't usually leave reviews but I received a very polite email from the seller asking if I would review their Bellemain 12-Cup Nonstick Madeleine Pan I had purchased so I decided to do so since I am very pleased with the product. I wanted Madeleines and was in Whole Foods and saw how much they were charging and there was no way I was paying that much money, so I decided I'd make my own. I went online and pans to make these little buggers were all over the place from really expensive silicone deals close to $50 and in-between. The Bellemain pan was rated pretty highly and the price was very right. I ordered and had it within two days. It't a heavy (not too heavy) pan, not flimsy at all and non-stick. The Madeleine recipe says you need to oil and flour so they don't stick, you don't need to do the flour part with this pan and I'm not sure you need the oil (I haven't tried that yet). But by just oiling lightly, the Madeleine's remove easily without sticking and the clean up is hot water and a wipe. The pan sits level in my oven on the rack. It makes 12 Madeleines at a time which is exactly the amount of my recipe. It is a dark pan, so if you bake, you know dark pans can help your baking brown quicker, so pay attention to how your oven bakes. This pan turns out a very nice madeleine with the design on one side that gives a crisp finish to the baked good. I feel that this pan is a great value for the price they are charging. Size wise, I could easily fit two of these in my small oven if I wanted. I've used it twice now and have no complaints.

Had never made Madeleines before - my friend (who makes them all the time) said to avoid the thin pans and I liked the option of just making 12 at a time so I ordered 2 of these. Arrived very quickly, ahead of the rest of the order - they look great and worked beautifully. I did butter the pans, (didn't dust with flour), and there was no sticking at all. Cookies baked beautifully (even though I overfilled a few of the molds), well defined and domed. Also easy clean up. Definitely recommend.

I feel quite the baker using these molds. Employees at work were really impressed! The trays themselves are thick, and good quality. The madeleine recipes are fairly easy to follow, and although the molds are mostly non-stick, the thin layer of Pam definitely helped slide them out a LOT easier. I did them both ways, just to see which way I preferred. Didn't have much time to wait for them to cool before removing them, especially when you're trying to fill another tray to put in, and so yes, PAM it UP!

After much research and reading reviews, I ordered the Bellemain Nonstick Madeleine Pan. I actually ordered two, because I really dislike working with only one cookie pan and such. Anyway, I made the Madeleines the same night I received the pans. I washed them thoroughly, then when the madeleines came out of the oven, these pans made them slide right out. I did spray with a cooking spray and I lightly floured them with the first batch. However, I did not after that. I honestly don't think you need to do that. This pan is so slick and it is also very easy to clean. I would highly recommend that you purchase these pans if you want a quality pan.

I decoded I wanted to make Madeleines after I saw them at Starbucks. Which is the only place I've had them btw. In any case the pan is definitely a non stick for sure . I do butter the pan because I want the Madeleine's to be golden brown. The pan itself is pretty lightweight but bakes great! Just a piece of advice you're going to have to adjust your bake time because the pan is darker. I absolutely love this pan and I recommend it, it's super easy to clean and so far seems pretty sturdy!
