enJOY!

I have many muffin pans in all sizes & shapes

& decided I needed this muffin/cupcake baker!

It takes about 10 minutes to bake the muffins & doesn't heat up the kitchen!

I found that if I bake them a little longer than 10 min.

& fill them fuller than the directions say, they brown a little more. 

(They do not brown like being baked in the oven.)
