Hi,
I wonder if anyone has seen this in the US. My dad has a circular
backing pan that has a movable blade riveted in the center and runs
flush against the pan bottom to the edge of the pan and then up along
the side and pointing out. This allows one to, once baking is done,
hold the outer end of this blade and sweep it around pan (sort of like
a compas) and the blade separates the bottom of what you have baked
from the bottom of the pan. Incredibly useful - no more wedging
spatulas....

My mom has one of those (she's in the US, as am I). I'll ask her
where she got it and/or what the brand is next time I talk with her.

We had one ( as did my Mom when we were growing up), but we checked it. Too
often it makes a mess of the edge or bottom of whatever you've baked. Plus,
they're a bitch to clean -- you can never remove the blade, so you can never
know if the bottom of the blade is truly clean.

A simple circle of parchment paper is simpler and works much better. If you
don't want to cut your own from a roll, you can buy the circles pre-cut to fit
your pan from any good kitchen store.

We "chucked it." Sorry.

I have two round cake pans like that. The thing is is they're actually
two different brands. One says Bake King. The other one says Eckoloy.

Hi,
I found 1 pan in my cupboard yesterday. Didn't even know I had it.
You can have it if you like.
The postage is on me
Seriously, I won't use it.
