Tube Pan

[Guest guest]

That sounds like an angel food cake pan, is that the same thing? I use

springfoam, bundt and angel food can pans. I've never heard of a tube pan.

Tube Pan

 

 

A tube pan is a pan with a hollow tube in the middle to conduct heat

and cook the cake. In a tube pan, the hollow tube and bottom of the

pan may be removed from the outer sides of the pan to make removal of

the cake easier.

 

A bundt cake pan is a type of tube pan, but the bottom of the pan in a

bundt pan forms the top of the cake and does not remove.

An angel food pan has sqyare corners on the bottom. A bundt pan is rounded.

There are many different shapes of tube pans.

Tube pan - A round pan with a hollow projection in the middle, used for

baking or molding foods in the shape of a ring

 

What my mom calls a tube pan that she uses for making her fruit cake in or

an angel food cake in is the first one of the 3 in this website, that has

the flat bottom, tube in the middle and the tube and flat bottom come out of

the pan in one piece.

now here is another type of tube pan that has the rounded bottom and is

usually decorative without a romovable insert.

and here is a whole collection of many different kinds.

These all basically cook the same and most cake batters can be cooked in any

of them, though I would only cook an angel food cake or a fruit cake in the

one in the first picture, because they can stick and not come out nearly as

easy and the removeable insert and smooth sides makes it easier to release

it.

 

Enjoy the look,

Thanks to all who answered my question asking what is a tube pan, and to Judy

who provided all of these links with pictures. I have a bundt pan and I remember

that my mother had an angel food cake pan, but I never knew there were ones in

which the bottom came out, and all of these many variations.
