I have been looking for a springform pan for a while now. When I found this one on greatofferstock.com and it was from Wilton, which is a brand that has good quality products,I bought it. The price is about what I would expect to pay in a store, but they seem to be hard to find in my area. It is aluminum and bakes beautifully. I personally only like aluminum or stainless steel bakeware, as they do not rust, and are dishwasher safe.
