I really like how well these perform. It cuts down on baking time and ensures the middle of the cake is done without the outer part getting dry. I use them with three and four inch deep cake pans. They clean very easily and are well worth the money, as I have used them over and over and they still look brand new.

Very good quality. Ideal for larger cakes for a more even bake and helps to bake middle of cake by conducting the oven heat through the centre of the cake. I have some from a different supplier which are no comparison to these. A bit pricey but worth the extra as these are much sturdier. Sent directly from the USA with quick free delivery.

I ordered this and the doll cake pan, but the heating rod came on time and the pan didn't! I used it anyway, but in a glass, oven-safe mixing bowl. It did the job just fine!You can see in my pictures how silly it looked rising out of the raw batter, but how pretty much the full length was needed when the cake baked. I included how the cake looked when the rod was removed, and in the last picture, you can see the inside of the finished cake; it baked all the way through with no undercooked areas.My 5 year old daughter was actually struck silent. Truly flabbergasted. Did I feel weird buying something called a "heating rod" and sticking it in a mixing bowl? Yes. Was it absolutely worth it when we brought the cake out and my daughter froze, stared for a long minute, then pointed and stuttered "It's Barbie and she's a cake!" YES. Worth it.I actually liked the shape of it well enough that I have yet to use the actual Fat Daddio doll cake pan. I've used the heating rod exclusively in oven-safe glass mixing bowls.

I just baked a cake from a box in a glass pan. The edges rose more than they usually do. Cake looks great!

I use these when baking with the 3 inch deep pans. It results in a much more evenly baked cake over using the pastry flower nails. They are long so flipping onto an elevated cooling rack gives the needed room for the nail tip. I put the head between the pan and parchment paper, not in with the batter. The nail, cake strips and the Fat Daddio pans has been baking up level, evenly baked cakes.

Purchased to use with the spherical cake pan and it worked perfectly. Wish they would make a bundle with the cake pan, this heating rod and a stabilizer/stand for the pan so it doesn’t tilt in the oven.

This cooking core makes baking cakes in deep pans much, much easier. I used this with a dome cake pan in order to make a doll skirt cake for a bridal shower. The heating rod cut down my baking time, and ensured the center was done without burning the exterior.

If you ever have undercooked centers and overcooked edges, get this, it really helps. I make vegan cakes where undercooked, wet centers are often a problem. This makes the cake bake much more evenly. I use it even with small pans (6" diameter) when the batter is shallow (1" deep). So if you think you might need it, just buy it!Removing it can be tricky. I oil (butter) it well before I put it in the empty pan. To remove it from the done cake, I set a cooling rack over the top of the cake with the rod sticking through a gap in the rack. Then invert the cake and rack together over cans set on the ends of rack keeping it elevated. Remove the pan and then pull out the rod.

Good sized heating core for cake baking. The rod is long enough for a larger cake, too.

This worked just fine in my 10” round pan and allowed the center of my cake to bake evenly.

As a amateur baker my tall cakes used to have either raw-ish middle, or burnt edges. No more. This little addition to bake pan distributes heat evenly at the center, does not deform the cake, and the hole from it is tiny. Wish I knew about it earlier!
