Why you'll love it: The
Calphalon Nonstick Bakeware 7-inch Mini Pizza Pan is a versatile nonstick pan that easily releases your food and cleans up easily.
Aside from its small size, the Calphalon 7-inch Mini Pizza Pan is unique because the bottom is perforated to allow for maximum airflow and a crispy crust. Heat is distributed evenly thanks to the heavy-gauge steel core, and the interlocking nonstick layers allow you to just slide your pizza off the pan when done.
Calphalon recommends only using wooden, coated, or nylon utensils to make sure the nonstick surface performs optimally. They back the quality of this product with a full lifetime warranty.
There are few firsthand expert reviews of the Calphalon Mini Pizza Pan. There are several sites that recommend this model, though. Among them is Ama Top 10, which found that the pan performs well, is durable, distributes heat well, and the non-stick cooking surface made clean-up effortless. The only complaint the reviewer had was that due to their shape, the pans actually produce smaller pizzas than the "7-inch" in their name suggests.
Approximately 83% of the Amazon buyers who reviewed the Calphalon Mini Pizza Pan gave it five stars. Jamie, the most helpful reviewer, purchased the pans to use with her preschool-aged grandchildren. She found the nonstick properties were impressive, even without spraying first. Yet, she would have liked it if there was a lip or handles to grab the pans by.
Other buyers find the pans are sized well for use in toaster ovens and air fryers and can be used to make an array of foods, including croissants, toast, veggie tots, and more.
Pros: Impressive non-stick properties, full lifetime warranty, works well in a variety of smaller appliances
Cons: Hard to remove from the oven, produces pizzas that are actually smaller than 7 inches
