You will be getting a pan that has 3 feets?stand? stuck to the pan.
Just that is a real disappointment. I mean seriously who does that?
If you're going to send a pan that has feet then put up a photo that has feet!
OK so that was my first disappointment (not getting the same item as the listed photo)
But I managed to calm myself down and tried to look on the bright side.
With "FEET" it would be easier to place it upside down and you wont have to worry about tipping it over.
So I baked the cake with this pan with "FEET" and everything looked great coming out of the oven.
I turned it over and one of the "FEET" got bent (maybe because of the heat?) making it impossible to stand
straight and of course I tried to bend it back and burned myself... while icing my arm I'm thinking to myself
"Do I have to burn myself every time I bake it in this thing or is it like once in every 3 or 4 time kind of thingy?"
After it cooled I put the knife around the pan to release the cake but kept bumping it on the knob? the screw?
that holds the "FEET"
This is a major design flaw. There are 2 bumps for each "FEET" total of 6 bumps INSIDE of the pan which gets in the way.
If you're used to the pan with no bumps then you know how great it feels to slide your knife smoothly around the
pan and that exciting feel when you reach the end and you lift it up!
The most annoying part of all is the time and effort you have to put to clean this thing.
I only had one angel food cake pan prior to this so I can only compare it to this pan but it was sooo easy to clean.
Just soak it in water for a while and you use a sponge and it cleans right out. But this pan....it has so many nooks and crannies that
you need to use a brush to get it all out and that bump! Yes all 6 of them! The cake sticks around those bumps and gets in them.
There's also a cleft on the bottom part and the cake gets in there too.
Conclusion: If it's your first pan probably be OK with it because you would assume angel cake pans are all like this.
But if you had a normal simple 2 piece angelcake pan before then you will miss that pan and will regret you got this one.
Don't get me wrong the "FEET" is a great idea. But if there's going to be screws stuck out of the inside of the pan and it bends easily
as this one then you would be better off without it.
By the way you can't take the feet off because you will end up having holes through the pan if you do.
Update: As I wrote in one of the comments I ended up removing the "feet"
I have 6 holes and it does leak batter a little bit but is usable. I am surprised they haven't updated the photo
but have written "with cooling feet" in the title hahaha!
But I think I found THE pan. If you are looking for a simple plain angle food cake pan
"Parrish Magic Line Angel Food Pans"
This is probably the pan! It's also made in U.S.A compared to the Nordic is made in China.
It doesn't have feet but you can turn a glass cup over and put it on to cool no biggie :)

I was disappointed that this Nordic Ware pan was made in China. Most of my other Nordic Ware pans are made in the USA.Best Deals for Nordic Ware 2 Piece Angel Food Pan with Cooling Feet
Good price for a very good quality pan. The cake bakes evenly and you don't need a wine bottle to invert it on cause it has 3 'little feet' attached on it, just invert it directly on the counter and let the cake cool. So easy and simple. Highly recommended.Honest reviews on Nordic Ware 2 Piece Angel Food Pan with Cooling Feet
I was a bit uncertain whether I should purchase this as some feedbacks are negetive. But I still took the risk to order this pan to try as I trust Nordic Ware product. I received it this week & today I have baked the first Angel Cake in this tin. It is beautiful & have the pretty light brown colour which makes the cake so presentable as well as taste yummy. A non-stick bakeware can never achieve this result easily. Although cleaning up takes a longer time than non-stick bakeware, I still think it is worth. My advise is to handwash it throughly after every use and take a bit more efford by using a soft old tooth brush to brush away the crumbs that stick on the gaps/edges. To make it easy, I soak it in warm soapy water for 10 mins prior cleaning. Also, instructions say to avoid using acid or tomatoes as stains will occur. Of course, don't use shape object on it. Anyway, read the caring instruction before you use the tin.Regarding the 3 little bumps inside the tin, it is a minor thing which does not worry me at all as not each time I make cake that raise up to that higher level. I am always very patient & very careful when I release a cake out of the tin. This is part of the joy & fun through the whole process making a cake for the family to enjoy...
