"muffin tin" の定義と意味

What is a "muffin tin"?

A muffin tin, also known as a muffin pan or cupcake pan, is a metal baking pan specifically designed for baking muffins, cupcakes, and other individual-sized baked goods. It typically consists of a rectangular or circular tray with multiple round indentations, known as wells or cups, where the batter is poured. Muffin tins come in various sizes, ranging from mini muffin pans with smaller wells to standard-sized pans with larger wells. They are usually made of aluminum or steel and may have a non-stick coating for easy removal of baked goods.
